New York media company Nylon surprised their employees one day with an inspiring challenge: to take $100 of the company’s money and do something good with it. They split into teams of two and hit the streets of New York City looking for opportunities to be kind.

They came up with some creative and touching ways to help their fellow New Yorkers. My favorite act of kindness was “Socks and a Slice.” Two of the workers combined their efforts, buying $100 worth of pizza and $100 worth of socks because those are “the two best things in the world.” Then they took the socks and slices to the Bowry mission and handed them out to people in need. Those brand new pairs of socks meant everything to the mission’s director — and the people he serves.

One of the side effects of kindness is how good it makes you feel. And it’s not just being kind — even watching others be kind gives people the warm fuzzies. So I’m sharing this wonderful video and I hope it makes you feel good today. Enjoy.
