The 10.10 Project is, among other things, about the idea that you can selflessly give to the people and places surrounding you. It can be something as small as letting someone in front of you line, but the idea is to just start somewhere.
We came up with a list of 10 things that you can do on that day (and beyond) but we'd love to hear your ideas, too. Add them and let's revolutionize our community -- one contagious act of kindness at a time.
10. Ask your coworker if they need help with any work.
9. Tip your waiter even extra.
8. Offer to babysit for friends.
7. Take in your neighbor’s recycling bins/trash bins on garbage day while you’re taking yours.
6. Buy a cup of coffee for the commuter behind you in line.
5. Let someone in front of you in traffic.
4. Tell a friend about something nice that reminded you of them.
3. Donate blood through the local Red Cross.
2. Pay the toll for the person behind you in line.
1. Smile at people you don’t even know.

Imagine A People...
...who are convinced that the kind of life Jesus had in mind when He spoke of “life to its fullest” is available now. What if those people decided to interpret what other thinkers have called “the good life” as a life of loving, sharing and giving?
What would happen if, empowered and inspired by that interpretation, they decided to venture into places where help was needed, both locally and globally, depending upon Jesus for their guidance? What amazing things could that community accomplish?
The people of Northeast Community Church in Norwalk CT want to steward their human, spiritual, technical, and financial resources into some time-bound measurable goals. By working toward those objectives we hope to really experience, demonstrate and share life to its fullest in Christ.
Once a year on the 10th day of the 10th month we will engage the community with “1010day.” The second annual 1010day is 10.10.2008 and will be a day of giving and serving our community. For more information, to give or volunteer for any of the day’s activities please contact us at 203.838.4708 or 1010project@necclife.org
