With Governor Mike Parson's signature, August 31 will officially be known as "Random Acts of Kindness Day" in Missouri.

On this day, Missourians are encouraged to remember that one small act of kindness has the power to change the course of a person's life and the potential to impact countless lives as random acts of kindness are paid forward.

It will also be a day to encourage Missourians to go out and do something nice for a stranger or someone already in their life.

The bill also creates several other state designations, including Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, Mark Twain Day, John Jordan 'Buck' O'Neil Day, and Hazel Erby Day.
