Good Thymes Restaurant owner Jeffrey Chamberlain likes greeting his customers and getting to know their stories. Jeffrey says on average he helps feed about 20 homeless people a day.
Chamberlain’s random acts of kindness weeks have turned into years of kindness.
“Having a restaurant is a blessing, being able to feed people is a blessing,” Chamberlain said.
He says he was a homeless single father of two for about four years and understands how important it is for people to show compassion.
Chamberlain has a call to action for those looking to do something nice during this week’s Random Acts of Kindness Week
“(People) need a handshake, they need a smile … asked their name, and need to be hugged,” he explained.
Random Acts of Kindness Week began in 2018 but started as Random Acts of Kindness Day in 1995.
