A local company is hoping a random act of kindness can spark a Tauranga phenomenon.
Specsavers Tauranga celebrated global Pay It Forward Day giving three customers two free pairs of glasses from a ballot.
The only condition was they were asked to do another act of kindness for a stranger.
Recipients of the free glasses - Lynley Keiller, Richard McCurren and Garry Rae - yesterday passed on the favour by giving out vouchers on Devonport Rd to three strangers who each received Specsavers glasses as well.
Specsavers Tauranga co-owner Max Drennan said he hoped the offer would have a positive effect on the community.
