#ygkChallenge: Free Shopping Carts

Welcome to Kingstonist’s weekly challenge, dare, resolution or whatever you prefer to call it. Each week we establish a new and ambitious community goal, encouraging our readers, followers, friends and families to step out of their comfort zones and do something great, and hopefully a little out of the ordinary. Consider this your official and personal invitation to join us in completing a small but meaningful achievement. By taking part in this community-wide initiative, we hope to make Kingston a slightly better place to live, work and play. And of course, we also hope that you will feel proud of your contribution and achievement.

This week’s challenge encourages you to:

Leave your quarter in a shopping cart. Every other time we go grocery shopping, it seems as though we forget to bring a quarter, which is required in order to unlock a shopping cart. More often than not, we come across a free cart, where the quarter was generously left for the next person to use. What better way to make someone’s day than to help them out with such a small act of kindness. It will only cost you a quarter, or paying it forward if you come across a free cart.
