The purpose of the #AmericaIsKind Challenge is simple:
We want to spread gratitude & acts of good while highlighting the work of great charities.
We want to start a wildfire kindness and positivity online and in everyday life.
So if you are tired of negativity, strife & division—especially on social media—
Take the #AmericaIsKind Challenge!
- Feel GRATITUDE
- Do GOOD
- SHARE KINDNESS on social media by posting your gratitudes & acts of good on social media and tagging 3-5 friends to participate in the #AmericaIsKind Challenge
The theme of DAY TWO of the #AmericaIsKind Challenge is PETS, and our Charity of the Day is the Humane Society of the United States.
Of course you are familiar with the Humane Society for local shelters and pet adoption, but do you know about their disaster response, mobile veterinary clinics, street dog program, animal rescues and wildlife protection programs? Or that the Humane Society globally cares for 100,000+ animals per year? Learn more at www.HumaneSociety.org.
“Our most important goal is to prevent animals from getting into situations of distress in the first place. We confront the largest national and international problems facing animals, which local shelters don't have the reach or the resources to take on...We are the nation’s largest and most effective animal protection organization, and provide hands-on care and services to more than 100,000 animals each year.”
