Los Angeles, CA. Random Acts is a global non-profit organization based in Los Angeles that has, since late March, committed itself to partner with other non-profit organizations in order to raise funds for those in need during the COVID-19 pandemic. One program from earlier this year included Feeding Our Nurses (seen above) where Random Acts partnered with Feed Hero Nurses to donate a six-inch Subway sandwich to frontline medical workers for every Subway purchase over $15 made on Postmates.
The non-profit organization was able to successfully initiate Feeding Our Nurses due to the establishment of The Random Acts Support Program where readers nominate an organization from their community affected by the pandemic.
More recently, Regional Random Acts Representative Holly Olsen contacted a team of teachers and social workers located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, who are working to support students enrolled in Sanford Middle School. Sanford’s Care Team is advocating to help these families through the donations of toys, board games, and other recreational activities during the difficult aftermath of the George Floyd protests and COVID-19 quarantine.
Olsen was determined to help these students and shopped in several local Minneapolis stores for a variety of toys middle-schoolers can enjoy during the summer. Eventually, Olsen was able to donate a large amount of recreational merchandise for Sanford’s Care Team, who would then give these items to families enrolled in the public school.

The global non-profit organization continues to promote positive causes related to the COVID-19 pandemic through blog posts on its social media and website.
