FISHERS — The city of Fishers is challenging its residents to complete 2,000 acts of kindness by Jan. 18 – Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

The 2000 Acts of Kindness Challenge isn’t just to spread happiness to your neighbors – you can win gift cards to Fishers residents.

The city has committed $100,000 in gift cards from locally owned restaurants to distribute to residents for sharing their acts of kindness.

You can share your acts of kindness with the city by clicking here or sharing it on social media using the hashtag #FishersKindness. When you do, you’re eligible to receive a $50 gift card to a Fishers resident.

“2020 has been a year that has challenged us as a community, but it has also given us new opportunities to come together,” said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness. “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.”
