getting ready to RACK the world...


This December my family will be performing 1 RACK of each day up until Christmas. Along with each act, we will leave this card.

Here are some ideas to get your started, if you decide to join in:
1. leave a quarter at a bouncy ball vendin...g machine
2. leave a roll of coins on Sandy at Meijer
3. leave a coupon code on a Blockbuster Express or Redbox machine
4. pay for someone’s meal at a drive-through and hand the RACK’d card to the ...attendant to pass on to them
5. put a quarter in a meter that’s about to expire
6. buy or pack a meal for a homeless person
7. put together a care package for a homeless person [toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, doed, snacks, gloves, socks, etc]
8. shovel someone’s driveway and leave the RACK’d card on their door
9. send a box of donuts or bagels or muffins to a construction site
10. leave coupons at the grocery store by the item
11. donate items to charity [and maybe leave $ in the pocket]
12. leave baked goodies at the police or firestation
13. leave muffins in the teacher’s lounge
14. leave a small toy [such as a rubix cube] in a Kid’s Food Basket lunch [if allowed]
15. donate [to the Children’s Hospital, the animal shelter, etc]
16. hand out balloons to kids
17. leave an appreciation note in the mailbox
18. give a lottery ticket to a stranger
19. send handmade cards to a nursing home
20. send a card or care package to someone overseas
21. put change in a row of vending machines
22. put something you no longer need on Craigslist’s FREE section
23. open the phone book, pick someone anonymously and send them something [movie tickets, book, lotto ticket, card, etc]
24. take flowers to the hospital and leave them for someone who hasn’t had recent visitors
25. leave treats on the garbage can
26. buy hot cocoa or a latte for a Salvation Army bell ringer
27. leave a small wrapped gift or treat in a shopping cart [maybe a snack in the giant ones with the kids seats behind so the kids get through shopping easier]
28. take a drug store employee who's working on Christmas Eve something special...or a farm employee milking cows ;)
