Bens Coffee Run

In the 2010s, tech entrepreneur Ben Huh started performing small acts of kindness that quietly made a big impact. While waiting in line at a local food truck, he began buying meals for strangers, surprising people who often couldn’t afford one or were having a rough day. What seemed like a tiny gesture sparked a ripple effect: friends, coworkers, and even strangers were inspired to pay it forward, creating an informal chain of generosity in his community. Ben’s example shows how a simple act — just buying someone a meal — can brighten lives and encourage others to spread kindness too.
