In an effort to keep his community together, one Midas muffler shop owner is encouraging his neighbors to perform one act of kindness a day.

Mark Smith, 57, has lived in Richmond, Virginia, for the past 23 years. Smith describes the city as an ideal place to live because of its diversity, infrastructure, stability, five universities, and its proximity to the beach, the mountains, and Washington. But to him, it’s ultimately the residents who make the community special.
