I came across the most incredible thing last week. Oh man, this is good...
There's a local family dedicated to giving away 10% of their modest income to random Vancouverites in an almost sneaky sort of way. A modern day tithe, in early September of 2009 they started this experiment in "guerrilla marketing for a life of connection—between ourselves, our neighbours, and the transcendent (God, Universe, Spirit, whatever name you choose)" and it is on fire!
Basically, they take 10% of their earnings and they dole that out creatively in little surprise parcels around the city, with the simple hope of brightening people's days. They take photos of the places they left them and then post them on THIS SITE for you to check out and, if you were incredibly lucky to receive one of them, so that you can send them a message.
They do dropoffs every couple/few days and they've done a few so far. This one below was one they recently did at crosswalks...
And this one is similar except that they left them on people's bikes for when they returned...
Visit their site at guerrillagiving.org to learn more, we'll be bringing you more from these incredibly awesome folks in the coming months.
