2017: A Year of Big and Small

In 2017, there were big news events that shook us and resulted in waves of compassion. But
there were also small acts of kindness that added up to something much bigger.

A Seattle dad named Jeff wanted every kid in his local school to have a hot lunchand he
helped kids all across his state. An aspiring astronaut named Taylor wanted other girls to
follow their passion for scienceand she inspired hundreds. And some social media stars took
a crazy idea and turned it into a Love Army.
