Random Acts of Kindness Challenge
In the spirit of kindness and all the benefits that come from it, Core Recovery is launching a kindness campaign. Our goal is to start a wave of kindness throughout our community.
How to Get Involved
-
If you witness real acts of kindness, grab a quick video or photo and post it to Instagram or Facebook as a story or post. Mention us and use the hashtag #corekindness.
-
Every quarter we’ll hold a poll to determine the best act of kindness.

The winner will receive five $10 gift cards to anywhere they want. They can keep some for themselves or pay it forward by giving some to others.

Benefits of Kindness
According to one study, people who were treated kindly at work repaid it by being 278% more generous to coworkers compared to a control group. Being kind at work increases job statisfaction, and can create a morale-boosting wave throughout an organization.
Another study showed that many leaders view kindness as a core value. When viewed this way and communicated consistently, employees are happier and more productive. Financial performance also increases.

Our Kindness Goals
“I am very passionate about my community because I know when it’s kind and healthy, the world is a better place,” says Core Recovery Founder Jillian Vanselow.
“Our goal is to start a wave of kindness throughout our community. We’re not looking for staged events, but real-life things people do to help others, their community, or the environment. We know they’re out there, and we want to celebrate them and start a chain reaction that spreads across our great city!“
