Milspos- Spread Kindness like Confetti

This coming Tuesday is #GivingTuesday. GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities.

Knowing military spouses for who they are, always ready to jump in and serve, three military spouses (Maria Reed, Samantha Gomolka and Jessica Manfre) took this day and added a Kindness component. These women forged a way for the entire military community to participate and enacted #GivingTuesdayMilitary. We are now all on a mission to spread 1 million acts of kindness across the world.

It’s one simple act…and it starts with YOU!

The goal is simple. On December 3rd, every single person is challenged with doing a kind act. It can be big or small. There is no wrong way to spread kindness. The goal is to just do it.

25 Acts of Kindness any Milspouse can do

With endless possibilities it can be a little overwhelming to pick and choose what to do. Here I’ve compiled a list of 25 Acts of Kindness any Milspouse Can Do can do. Pick one, pick 3, pick them all!

If the list still seems overwhelming to do in a day, I implore you to do at least one thing…give or send a card to an old friend, new friend, a neighbor, a cherished loved one. Here are some printable cards, tags and poem bookmarks to give to friends or anyone you know! Simply find the one you want to print and scroll down to find the full printable link.

For a new neighbor or friend:

For anyone:

For a full sheet of all the cards, tags and poem bookmarks, click Grateful cards or Grateful cards 2 for one card per page.

Make sure to share your acts of kindness on the #GivingTuesdayMilitary Facebook page.

We’d love to see what awesome things you’re doing to make a difference in someone’s life, no matter how small the act.

And remember, kindness doesn’t just occur on one day a year. It can be done at anytime, anywhere. So let this #GivingTuesdayMilitary kindness challenge spark your soul and keep it going all year long.
