Hearts in Action: A Volunteer Gift Exchange

Hearts in Action is a unique, feel-good gift exchange where participants “give” through acts of service. Instead of traditional presents, you'll share your time and talents by volunteering with an organization or cause that’s meaningful to you.

After completing your volunteer activity, you’ll send them a small letter, postcard, or message sharing your experience—photos, stories, reflections, or even something tangible if you feel inspired! Your gifter will do the same. By the end, you'll both walk away with a deeper connection to your community and a new friendship, grounded in kindness and shared impact.

If you are stuck, Best Buddies International is hosting Friendship Walks all across the Globe this Spring, and would welcome your volunteer assistance! To find a Friendship Walk near you, visit BestBuddiesFriendshipWalk.org
