Fishers launches 2,000 Acts of Kindness Challenge

During this difficult time, it is more important than ever to support one another and give back to the community. For this reason, Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness has launched the 2000 Acts of Kindness Challenge, encouraging residents to complete 2,000 acts of kindness by Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Jan. 18.

The 2,000 Acts of Kindness Challenge directly supports locally owned Fishers restaurants and encourages residents to dine local. The City of Fishers is committing $100,000 in gift cards from locally owned restaurants to distribute to residents for completing and sharing their act of kindness.

“2020 has been a year that has challenged us as a community, but it has also given us new opportunities to come together,” Fadness said. “I’ve seen neighbors helping neighbors, offering to pick up groceries or deliver meals. I have seen our residents step up to support strangers, participating in food drives and creating holiday care packages for those in need. To cap off this unprecedented year, I challenge our community to give back 2,000 times over, in ways both big and small. Shovel a neighbor’s driveway, send a letter of encouragement to a friend, hold the door for a stranger. Find opportunities to serve others in new ways and let us showcase what Fishers is all about.”

Residents can share their kind act, or nominate someone who has performed a kind act, through an online form and on social media using #FishersKindness. By completing the online form, the individual is eligible to receive a $50 gift card to a Fishers restaurant. Residents are encouraged to dine safely by taking advantage of reduced-contact services including online ordering, carryout, curbside pickup, drive thru, and delivery.
