The purpose of the card is to inspire a person, from a neighbor to a stranger, to conduct a random act of kindness for someone else. If you have received a card, and are inspired to continue the movement here are some ideas for passing the NIYT card. Please feel free to use these ideas to your discretion. Be creative! Get involved! Just go out and make a difference for someone in your community today!

Have you ever noticed someone in a rush behind you at the grocery store or bank, allow them to jump in line in front of you, hey we've all been there!

Have you ever noticed someone down on their luck, surprise them with lottery ticket; hey you never know you may change their life forever!

Do you have a busy or elderly neighbor that's always struggling to mow their lawn or shovel snow, take some time out and give them a hand!
- Feed someone else's parking meter
Have you ever walked by an expired parking meter, knowing that their about to get a ticket, drop in a couple of coins, leave a note and the card, everyone hates to get a parking ticket!

Have you ever seen someone stranded with a flat tire or car trouble, next time stop and offer a hand (if safely possible of course).
- Get a cup of coffee for the crossing guard or police officer on a cold winter morning
Have you ever walked by the crossing guard or a police officer hard at work to keep us safe while fighting the winter elements, stop and ask if they would like a cup of coffee.
- Give someone your umbrella in the rain
Have you ever noticed someone getting soaked in the rain, stop and give them your umbrella!
- Give a huge tip to someone when they least expect it
Have you ever noticed a struggling waiter or waitress, surprise a deserving one with a huge unexpected tip!
- Give up your seat for someone, not just an elderly person
Have you ever seen someone tired and weary on a crowded subway or train, next time offer up your seat!
- Do a secret act of service.
Have you ever noticed a neighbor or a co-worker in need of some assistance, how about rendering the help secretly? It can be anything from secretly raking your neighbor's lawn or leaving a box of cookies for co-worker. Leave the card anonymously.
