  • Random Gifts of Kindness Project Mission – To form connections with real-life neighbors by giving freely from our own abundance, receiving others’ gifts, talents, and time with gratitude, and creating a network of sharing and lending that builds wealth and reduces waste.
  • Objectives
    1. Reduce waste
    2. Help your neighbors
    3. Practice gratitude
    4. Spread the love
  • Criteria for Membership
    1. Adults 18 and older only
    2. Must be a CURRENT Glen Meadows Neighborhood resident
  • Rules for Participation
    1. All members participate at their own risk. Founders and Administrators accept no responsibility for any loss, damage, injury, illness, or legal liability that may arise from a member’s participation in the group.
    2. No business profiles allowed. You must join the group with your personal Facebook profile.
    3. Administrators reserve the right to delete or turn off commenting to any and all posts at any time without notice.
    4. Gifts are given on a first come, first serve basis.
    5. Trading, bartering, buying or selling is not permitted.  All gifts must be given without any strings attached, and without any expectation of reward other than the joy of giving. There is no limit to gifting or receiving.
    6. You may share or request goods or services from or for your business, school, charity or other organization, as long as those offers or requests are not presented as a way of marketing, advertising, recruiting, promoting or otherwise “spreading the word” about your business or organization.
    7. A giver is not required to take back an item if it does not meet a recipient’s expectations. Nor are recipients required to accept an item if, upon seeing it in person and before taking it home, they realize it won’t work for them. If you find that a gift won’t work for you, just be honest and let the giver know.
    8. We don’t limit what happens to the things given here, we just ask for full disclosure so that everyone can give as they choose. When requesting an item, let your neighbors know if you are requesting the item on behalf of someone other than yourself or your own household, or if you are planning to sell the item or perhaps donate it to a charitable cause.
    9. Givers are not expected to hold onto items for a recipient for any longer than is convenient, but we do hope that all of our members will do what they can to work out any scheduling mishaps.
    10. Grounds for Removal include (but not limited to):
      1. Posting spam, marketing posts or items for sale or trade
      2. Joining any group with a fraudulent account(s) or with the purpose to defraud others
      3. Incivility towards or between group members
      4. Disrespect toward group members, their privacy or their property
      5. Dishonesty or obtaining items under false pretenses in order to sell said items without disclosing that intention
      6. Repeated instances of disregard for our rules or principles
      7. Blocking or failing to communicate with an administrator
      8. Repeated complaints about the group or our rules
      9. Statements in the group that lead the admin to believe that you are unhappy in the group or would like to be removed
