The Love in Action Challenge

Write down three things you're grateful for — and say one out loud to someone.

Call or text someone you haven't checked on in a while. Just ask, "How are you, really?"

Make someone laugh today. Share a joke, a funny memory, or a silly photo.

Check on a senior neighbor — offer to grab groceries or simply sit and talk.

Thank a teacher, nurse, bus driver or cashier by name.

Donate canned goods or clothing to a local pantry or shelter.

Leave an encouraging note for a stranger to find.

Share one free resource you know about with someone who might need it.

Pick up litter on your block — leave your street better than you found it.

Cook or share a meal with someone who could use the company.

Thank a veteran or a caregiver for what they carry.

Read with a child or help a young person with homework.

Forgive someone — or yourself. Let one thing go.

Tell your story: post what this challenge meant to you and invite a friend for next year.
