Fishers residents have performed 1,153 Acts of Kindness over the past month as part of the 2,000 Acts of Kindness Challenge, launched by Mayor Scott Fadness to encourage residents to support one another and local businesses during this difficult time.
Residents can share their kind act, or nominate someone who has performed a kind act, through an online form. As a thank you for their act, residents will receive a $50 gift card to a local restaurant. City officials have committed to distributing $100,000 in gift cards from locally-owned restaurants to help to boost the economy and support these businesses during COVID-19 restrictions. City officials encourage residents to dine safely by taking advantage of reduced-contact services, including online ordering, carryout, curbside pickup, drive-thru and delivery.
With only one week left in the challenge, which concludes on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, residents are encouraged to look for every opportunity to give back, from picking up groceries for a neighbor, to holding the door open to a stranger, to donating items to a food pantry or shelter.
