Need a quick pick-me-up in the morning? How about a donut? Delivered to your car? It is all about acts of kindness and United Way members aren't holding back.

Thursday morning, thousands of free donuts were passed out all over Grand Island in an effort to show kindness and promote others to "pass it on."

Karla Schwieger-Arnold was part of the hand-out in downtown Grand Island. She said, "People are really receptive of recieving donuts in support of United Way. I really believe it has made their day. Our hope is they will go on and do an act of kindness for someone else."

Members say United Way serves nearly 53,000 people throughout the year. 'Acts of Kindness Week' officially beings October 8th.
