About Houston Random Acts of Kindness

Houston Random Acts of Kindness is a Houston-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded to spread empathy and practical support through community events, school programs, and direct distributions. The organization operates recurring projects—holiday meal and gift distributions, community resource drives, and an annual Houston Humanitarian Awards gala—to serve people experiencing food insecurity and to promote civic kindness. The charity is actively engaged with local schools and districts to run “RAK Rooms” (incentive-based student stores and resource rooms) and partners with community organizations and businesses to scale distributions and events. The EIN 82-1452236 was confirmed against public nonprofit filings and major nonprofit data services as belonging to Houston Random Acts of Kindness; the organization also maintains an active public website and ongoing media coverage and outreach.
