BAKERSFIELD, CA- A stranger buys your coffee. Or your movie rental is already paid for. These might just be the good deeds of Chive On Kern. "We're just out to make the world 10% happier is our motto," said Sara Brus, chive on kern.
Sara Brus runs chive on kern. The group formed in June 2013 and has grown to over 300 members, each joining for their own reasons.
"This group is from all walks of life. It's anything from business owners to to cooks at restaurants to the unemployed to, I mean everything," said Wilson Rose.
"There's never a thank you needed. You just know you are helping somebody else you are changing somebody else's life," said Dream Weaver.
"Just making someone's day someone's minute it's just heart warming," said Danny Sosa.
Members meet up weekly- and try to do random acts almost daily. They give time and money, big and small through fundraisers and feeds. "And there was actually a lady there and she started crying when I gave her the food, said Weaver.
Chive on Kern mailed out holiday care packages to our troops. And they delivered water to Porterville when wells were running dry. "I didn't realize how desperate those people are for water," said Danielle Ambrose.
Members tucked toys under the KGET Christmas tree, collected for kids who would otherwise have nothing to open this year. And the list of good goes on. "Donated money to the Alpha House in Taft to help pay their PG&E bill," said Weaver.
"We raised money to help the parents offset travel costs," said Brus.
"There was a family that we sponsored for Christmas that we brought everything from Christmas trees to truck loads of food," said Rose.
Each random act-creates the precise happiness they intend, in hopes each target, will pass it on. It's the snowball effect and just seeing a lot of people out there just trying to make other people happy," said Brus.
Someone did something for me that made a huge impact. It was a random act of kindness and I said it in my head, I'll pay someone back for this," said Sosa.
