Random Acts Of Kindness: How Heights Neighbors Helped Each Other

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — Random Acts of Kindness Day is Thursday. To celebrate, Patch asked Cleveland Heights residents to share the "nicest thing" a neighbor had ever done for them.

We received a few responses and we thought you'd like a dose of neighborly kindness on this Thursday.

Here are a couple of ways Cleveland Heights neighbors have helped each other:

• "Neighbor got a new toy; a snowblower. He cleared the whole sidewalk from one end of the street to the other. Another neighbor had a table set up on garbage day. Coffee and donuts for the city workers and neighbors."
• "Cleared my driveway and sidewalk of snow! Multiple times."
• "Oh man, my neighbors are all truly amazing, no way I could pick just one act of kindness.
  We are all full of love here on Somerton."

If you'd like to share how your neighbor helped you, tell us in the comments below or on the Cleveland Heights Patch Facebook page!

The Denver-based Random Acts of Kindness Foundation's first RAK Day was in 1995. The small nonprofit's initiative caught on, was celebrated in New Zealand by 2004 and has since been celebrated around the world as a way for people to show kindness to others in small, simple ways.

Random Acts of Kindness Day is observed on Feb. 17 every year, regardless of the day of the week.
