Random Acts of Kindness Day: Your Gift Can Change a Life

Every day, we have the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Christ—to lift up the poor, to feed the hungry, and to care for the forgotten. February 17 is Random Acts of Kindness Day, a reminder that even the smallest act of love can bring light into someone’s darkest hour. It’s a day dedicated to simple acts that brighten someone’s day, restore hope, and remind us all of the goodness in humanity.

“Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done.”
– Proverbs 19:17

How Your Kindness Transforms Lives

While the world often celebrates grand gestures, true kindness lies in the small, everyday moments—a warm meal for a hungry child, a comforting word to the lonely, or a helping hand to someone struggling. At the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, we believe that true kindness is love in action. With the support of generous people like you, we are able to serve the most abandoned communities across the world in places like:

• Zambia – Helping to build schools and churches, giving children and families hope for a brighter future.
• Tijuana, Mexico – Providing food and medical care for families struggling with poverty and displacement.
• Madagascar – Funding mobile medical clinics, bringing healthcare to isolated villages where doctors are scarce.
• South Africa – Offering vocational training and job opportunities, empowering young adults to break free from the cycle of poverty.
