Cindy Lange-Kubick wants to know what you would do with $20 you came upon by chance. Here are five things I might do around Lincoln with 20 bucks:
  1. Leave an especially large tip for one of my favorite waiters.
  2. Buy a gift for a child from a giving tree.
  3. Buy rides for kids on the carousel at Gateway or the train at the zoo.
  4. Pay bus fares for anybody who needed it.
  5. Buy cookies from The Cookie Company and hand them out to passers-by.

Last year we started a random-acts-of-kindness thing where we anonymously gave some money to someone who needed it.  We chose a single mom who wasn’t going have Christmas because she couldn’t afford to.  We sent her grocery store gift cards and cash and just told her it was from a friend.

This year we hope to find an opportunity to do something at the checkout stand at a store or grocery store, maybe pay for someone’s groceries or something like that.

I like the idea of getting the gift off the giving tree!
