PASS IT ON!

There are many easy ways to show an act of Kindness

• Community Kindness
• Pay it forward: Pay for the coffee or toll of the person behind you.
• Leave kindness notes: Hide sticky notes with positive affirmations in library books, on mirrors, or in public spaces.
• Brighten a commute: Let someone merge in traffic or go ahead of you in line.
• Clean up: Pick up litter in a local park or neighbourhood.
• Hide “kindness rocks”: Paint rocks with encouraging messages and leave them for others to find. 
• Neighbourhood & Senior Kindness
• Help with chores: Shovel a neighbour’s driveway, rake leaves, or take their garbage cans out.
• Visit the elderly: Spend time talking to a lonely neighbour or a resident at a senior home.
• Donate books: Leave books in a local little free library.
• Offer help: Offer to grocery shop or run errands for a busy or homebound neighbour. 
• Friend & Family Kindness
• Handwritten notes: Mail a letter or thank-you note to a friend or relative.
• Unexpected treats: Drop off baked goods or dinner for a friend.
• Call instead of text: Call a loved one just to say “hi”.
• Actively listen: Put your phone away and give someone your full attention
