  • Call to Action
  • Tell the farm story
  • Submit your experience

ACTS OF KINDNESS

Let’s fill the country with kindness while we tell the farm story. There are many people in every community across the nation who could benefit from some kindness, so now is the time to “Acknowledge” these needs and ACT! When you or a group of Farm Bureau FUSION participants complete an act of kindness, hand the person or group the “Farm Bureau ACTS of Kindness” card to “Tell” about your love for agriculture to others in your community. Then “Submit” information about your acts of kindness before March 13, 2021 at noon EST via the Farm Bureau ACTS Submission Form.

Impact will be calculated by the number of ACTS, number of people impacted, and the time or money spent to perform the ACTS of kindness. During the closing FUSION programming, we will report on totals by state and total national impact. It’s time to spread the word! All FUSION registrants have until March 13th to spread kindness! We can’t wait to see which state makes the greatest kindness impact in their local communities!
