We live in a community where kindness happens every day. Let’s take a moment to not only recognize this kindness and do something nice in return.
Friday, Nov. 4 has been earmarked as Random Act of Kindness Day – a day to celebrate those little niceties and encourage others to pay those “acts of kindness” forward.
Schools, businesses and individuals have decided to take part with 5,000 Random Act of Kindness Day cards circulating around the community. The cards encourage the cardholder to perform a simple act of kindness for someone – a neighbour, a friend, a co-worker or someone they don’t even know – and hand the card over to that person, encouraging them to do the same.
“There are so many different types of action that people can use as their kind act – buy someone a coffee, congratulate someone on a job well done, pay someone’s parking meter, even something as simple as holding open a door for someone with their hands full. Each act provides us with an opportunity to connect with someone in our community,” said Kathy McNinch, executive director of Battlefords and District Community Foundation.
“We’re happy to have so many people involved in this year’s Random Act of Kindness Day,” said McNinch. “Let’s use this day to focus on spontaneous thoughts of generosity.”
