World Kindness Day

November 13th

This day dedicated to acts of kindness was started in 1998 and has since spread to 28 countries! It doesn't have to be elaborate and grandiose actions. Just a little gesture of kindness goes a long way! Hold the door.... give a compliment..... reach out to an elderly neighbor..... leave a note for someone that says 'I think you are awesome'!

Share your acts of kindness with us for our next newsletter! Have fun! Kindness does feel good! Use #WorldKindnessDay to share on social media.
