How it works

Three steps to keep the kindness moving

  1. Receive a card

    Someone did something kind for you and left a Pass It Around card behind. They received it the same way, and now it's your turn.

  2. Tell us how you got it

    Enter the number on the back of your card, see where it has been, and share how it reached you. Register so you can follow its journey forward.

  3. Pay it forward

    Perform a good deed for someone else and leave the card behind. Every time it moves, its journey grows and another story is told.

What counts as kindness?

Big or small, it all counts

Each passing of a card is followed by a genuine act of kindness. Perhaps someone stopped to help a stranded motorist, gave up a seat on a plane, or picked up a stranger's tab. It doesn't have to be grand. It just has to be kind.
