Join 365.org has declared it “Drive Through Philanthropy Week!” What’s even more exciting is that they have turned it into a challenge. That means if you go to join365.org and sign up (for free) you can win a random acts of kindness badge. Earn badges, earn prizes. Its that simple.
How to participate: Go through a drive through for fast food or coffee and pay for the person behind you! They will get a nice surprise and you can even write them a little note telling them what drive through philanthropy is! Tell them you heard about it on Pulse 101.7FM. Who knows? Maybe you will not only introduce them to a new giving concept, but also a new radio station…and if you have a Pulse sticker in your back window, all the better!!! 🙂
So, are you in or out? I myself am in.
2 days ago, I was at MCdonalds and right before I went to pay, I heard the MC on the radio about paying for the person behind you at a drive thru. I grew anxious and looked to see who was behind me…i slowly pulled forward to pay with my debit card. The young gentleman was kind and actually asked how my day was. (doesn’t happen very often in drive-thrus). My heart grew anxious. After I paid for my meal, I told him I would pay for the person behind me. I looked at me with curious eyes and said, “do they know or will they get mad?”. I shrugged my shoulders and said, “I don’t know them, I hope they don’t get mad”. He gave me both receipts and we smiled away.
