Arlington is hoping to shine a spotlight on kindness and goodwill.
The city's Community Relations Commission is on a mission to spread compassion through its new Kindness Initiative.
The commission hopes to celebrate diversity while still showing that love is what brings us all together, using the "Ask Arlington" app's Random Acts of Kindness tracker.
"You've got a lot of negative people out there and it's good to have that positivity," said new Arlington resident Tommy Roberts.
Roberts believes a little love can go a long way and good deeds can sometimes go overlooked.
"I think there would be more of it if they did realize it," Charlotte Graham said.
The commission hopes citizens will download and use the Ask Arlington app to tell the world when they see someone in the city doing something good.

"It makes me feel good and happy that people are helping other people," said 10-year-old Jonathan Swartz.
"It restores your hope in people. It takes away my fear of people," Graham added.
You can find good deeds from across the city, like the person who was seen paying for police officers' meals at Tom's Burgers and Grill.
"It happens quite a bit. Either someone picking up a meal for an officer or a firefighter or even somebody that's homeless. They'll come in and buy them a burger," said owner Tom Jones.
That's the idea. Show kindness and watch it grow. Other examples include the Arlington firefighters who made a lifelong dream for a 94-year-old woman come true by letting her ride in a fire truck for the first time.
There's also the little boy who shared the foul balls he caught at a baseball game.
"It doesn't matter what color or how you act, as long as you are good to people they'll be good to you," said 11-year-old Alijah Littlejohn.
