Community Kindness Month
At the beginning of the year, we asked the community what their 2021 goals were.
Many stated that they wanted to work on their compassion & empathy and make a positive impact on their community.
We have created a kindness action for every day in the month of May to help you achieve your goals!
Participate in our first ever Community Kindness Month by downloading our complete kindness calendar or scroll down to view the Kindness list.
