'Random Act of Kindness' Strikes a Chord on Facebook

A photo upload Tuesday quickly turned into Malvern Patch's most popular post.

It only took about 30 seconds to upload the photo to Facebook.

The photo, taken Tuesday afternoon at the Wawa on Paoli Pike near Route 352, showed an envelope taped inside the drinks cooler near the iced teas. The envelope was filled with coins, judging by the feel, and it displayed a brief inscription:

Random Act of Kindness
    enjoy a drink
       treat on me!  

Within hours, the photo became Malvern Patch's most popular Facebook post ever. As of Wednesday evening, it had more than 170 likes and its reach had surpassed 4,000.
