OUR STORY

We are a family of three who felt helpless for those devastated by Superstorm Sandy in 2012.

We gathered some supplies to donate to those affected, then challenged our town to join us.


The community came together for the greater good.  


Supplies poured in, including the use of a tractor-trailer and driver; 

...And young volunteers (ages 7-14) and their parents, helped collect, organize, & load the truck.


Over two days at a local park in Central Jersey and 175 cars later,

the 53-foot tractor-trailer was filled.

 

The Tractor-Trailer Challenge™ was born...  

...and the idea for the Local Acts of Kindness Foundation™ began to take root.


Local Acts of Kindness Foundation™ officially launched on November 13, 2019,

which is also 'World Kindness Day'.

Nancy DiPasquale - President

The launching of the Local Acts of Kindness Foundation™ 

is a longtime dream for our Founder.  

Nancy's path to this endeavor has been anything but straight, 

while navigating careers in other industries.

But one thing remained constant throughout... 

her real passion for helping others and spreading joy 

through fun acts of kindness.


In that vein, Nancy and her family established the 

Local Acts of Kindness Foundation™ 

and created all of its Kindness Challenges™ & programs,

to express that passion and encourage neighbors to

experience the contagious fun of spreading kindness, joy, 

and help where needed.

henry dipasquale - CFO & VP

Helping others is at the core of our foundation's CFO & VP.  

Our Tractor-Trailer Challenge™  

would not run without Henry's expertise

in finance, management, and logistics,

and undoubtedly his big heart.


 Henry, along with his family, 

enjoys participating in acts of kindness within

their own community… and have all seen first-hand

how quick and eager others are to participate

in fun, organized group acts of kindness.

colin dipasquale -VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR

Acts of kindness have always played a role in Colin’s life. 

Upon learning that children lost their toys in

Superstorm Sandy (2012), 

Colin, (then age 7), gathered together three boxes

filled with his own toys to donate, 

kicking off what is now known as 

the Tractor-Trailer Challenge™ .

Colin, (now in college), is the Founder of our 

Senior Serenades™  program.

Colin also gives a voice to many of our 

furry homeless friends

in our Rescues Speak™  program.

Tad DiPasquale - kind Dood

  Our Goldendoodle, Tad, is an integral part of 

our family, the organization, and its mission. 

Tad reminds us daily of how a small act of kindness 

toward God’s creatures are returned to us 

in the form of unconditional love and joy.


Tad is a big supporter of our Rescues Speak™ program,

giving our local homeless pet population a voice,

and a better chance at finding their fur-ever homes.

 

Coincidentally, Tad was born on November 13th, 2013,

* World Kindness Day *

...which is also the official launch day of the

Local Acts of Kindness Foundation™ (2019).
