Random Acts of Kindness
Do one good thing for someone today.
Good people. Good energy. Real impact. Share your act, fuel the next one with a gift, and pay it forward.
The Kindness Wall
At ChiGivesBack, we believe that kindness knows no bounds, and everyone deserves to experience the joy of unexpected generosity. Launched in 2020, we created Random Acts of Kindness to spread love and support to individuals who may not meet the specific criteria for other initiatives.
Strong partnerships keep a community moving. Working alongside local businesses, ChiGivesBack provided coffee and lunches for first responders, police officers, and volunteers who give their time and energy to Chicago. A partnership with PepsiCo put Gatorade in the hands of a school football team, while a $1,000 water donation supported Juneteenth celebrations. Lunch donations also helped power a sports and education camp for local youth. Your support helps us show up for more neighbors, more schools, and more moments that matter.
Supported 4 students with education scholarships for college. Additionally, donated (8) laptops and tables to Chicago Public School students
Funding provided to 5 front line healthcare professionals and 75 displaced hospitality workers.
Funds supported low-income families, essential workers, healthcare professionals, and DCFS teens and families, including transportation to vaccination and voting sites.
Providing direct financial assistance to individuals and community members facing unique challenges, pursuing personal goals, or working to improve their circumstances.
