Random Acts of Kindness Everywhere #rake

If everyone could do a HUGE favor and like, follow Meals Giving...

Need to get it to 1,000 followers by the end of the week!

We will be paying everyone that does so a stick of gum...

The non profit I started turns 11 years old today...

Who knew handing out slices of pizza in LA at my lowest point would turn into a movement so much bigger than me.

Salute to any and everyone who’s ever supported, contributed, or helped me try to make this planet a little bit more kind.

Cheers to you all.

R.A.K.E. (Random Acts of Kindness Everywhere) .

Maybe one of these years we will actually have a celebration.

If you want to donate, it’s gladly appreciated. If you can’t, we understand that too.

Love and blessings and here’s to 11 years and many more.

This is gonna sound weird, but always shocked by the number of people who show up to help us help others

Truly amazed by the number of people who come out each and every time. Unreal to see and very appreciated.

After covid, it’s been a struggle. Lost most of our funding, team members, and a lot helpers. Good to see R. A. K. E. is on its way back up.

Thanks for all the love and support that past 7 days.

Y’all support is unreal.

August 3, 2024 - Little Mountain Country Club

A golf event like no other. Well that’s because it’s more about hanging out and creating memories than it is about golfing. I mean there is golfing. And there is a trophy and winner. And dinner. But yeah.

Grab a team, pull up, have fun. Raise money to help me, help others.

All hands on deck! Help us be a little bit more kind to the world we live in…

For the 2024-2025 school year, and I plan to 'adopt' two Cleveland public schools.

We will work closely with the school principals to provide support and supplies to students, parents, and teachers.

While I don't want to overpromise, I believe we can make a tangible difference with my network and support system.

Two months away…

In a world where you can be anything, always remember to be kind…

It’s time…

Ricky Smith’s Really Amazing Food Truck Is Back for a Third Year of Food and Charity The R.A.F.T., as it’s known, returns for its third season offering grilled cheese and more with a name-your-price model. By Jala Forest

Help needed! Seeking 100+ new bikes for underprivileged kids by end of May.

Naturally the cheaper the bikes, the more we can give away. Cheaper options preferred. All bikes must be assembled.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

First day of spring and we are officially opening up our calendar for bookings.

We have catered for thousands (for corporate events) as well as groups as small as 10 (date night in the park).

We can cook, literally, whatever and all proceeds go to serving those in need from the same amazing food truck. We also have an in-house DJ, speakers, games, and a guy who plays the recorder while doing magic tricks.

Shoot us a direct message or e-mail us at [email protected] for more information. Tis the season

One of the kindest things you can do is take time to brighten someone’s day. 🍊☀️⁣

Hats, gloves, toothbrushes, hand sanitizers, water bottles, protein bars, socks… there are endless ways you could bless someone in need!

Be the good you want to see in the world…

Nothing is better than when our volunteers come together! 💙✌️⁣

Thinking about making a quarterly event. Each season with an accompanying drive to go along with the lunches.

Spring (?).
Summer (school supplies).
Falls (socks and gloves).
Winter/Holiday (winter kits).

Would need 4 huge locations that could hold 500+ and corporate sponsors to help pull this off. Also a planning committee.

We want these to be huge give back events. Astronomical.

This holiday season has brought more kindness and generosity than ever before! ❤️💙✨⁣

You’ve helped us make hundreds of lunches, cards, winter kits, adopted families, and so much more for those who needed it most this holiday season. Thank you to everyone who supported during this time. We wish you all an amazing holiday, and hope that you show someone a random act of kindness the next chance you get. 😉🎄⁣

Saturday, December 16 at 10:30am, we’re looking for 300+ volunteers to help assemble lunches and winter kits for those in need in Northeast Ohio.

A family friendly event, that’s more like a party with a purpose.

Come with friends, family or alone, it’s a heartwarming event that fills the soul this holiday season.

Like, comment, share.

Thanks in advance and look forward to seeing you there.

Little help.

Need a donated space that can host 200 to 300 people for a charity event next month. A Saturday or Sunday morning for 2 hours in Cleveland. Making winter kits and meals for those in need.

What are you waiting for?! Now is the perfect time for a random act of kindness. 😉💛⁣
