Acts of Kindness

Life, at times, can be overly burdensome and difficult. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that approximately 16 million adults in the United States experienced at least one major depressive episode in 2015. As part of our “Acts of Kindness” program, Waypoint Project volunteers will focus a percentage of time randomly serving people throughout the communities in which we serve. This could manifest itself in a simple gift, a tank of gas, or a moment of affection. While we cannot prevent those millions of depressive episodes from happening, hopefully we can help shoulder someone else’s burden and brighten their day with an act of kindness.

How We Help

CARE PACKAGES

Sometimes an unexpected gift is enough to get you through a tough day at work. Waypoint teams distribute care packages to people who need a little love in their life, including first responders, nurses and doctors, teachers, or anyone else who may have a difficult job or be experiencing a difficult time in life. The Spoil-A-Hero program is one way you can get involved directly in Waypoint’s mission of showing love to those who are always there for us.

TREATS

Who doesn’t perk up at the sight (and smell) of a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie? The reality is, sometimes folks just need a moment of to enjoy the smaller moments in life. So, Waypoint makes those small moments by lifting people’s spirits through spoiling their taste-buds.

MEALS

Everyone knows that food is great, and everyone knows that free food is even better. Waypoint loves to show up and love on a community through free food and fellowship, allowing people to gather and eat together with no expectations other than to share kindness with each other.

NO STRINGS ATTACHED

An essential point of showing unconditional love is that the expression of love comes with no strings attached. Waypoint teams find their greatest joy in giving and showing love with no expectations of reciprocation. We are thrilled to give joyfully to our communities and to love our neighbors meaningfully because we have been shown the greatest love of all.
