At Celebrate Gettysburg, we value the kindness towards friends, neighbors, visitors, and strangers demonstrated daily by the people of Adams County. We believe in giving back, and we want to give back to you, the members of our great community. So keep an eye out for our Celebrate Gettysburg helpers, who will be spreading kindness in local businesses, public service buildings, and on the streets during Random Acts of Kindness Week, February 10 – 16, 2014.
Sponsored by the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, the week is dedicated to stepping out of your daily routine and going out of your way to be kind to other people. The goal is to go beyond daily kindness and inspire people to pass it on.
Do you love this as much as we do? We challenge you to perform one act of kindness each day throughout the week, whether at home, at work, or in the community! One small act of kindness could completely turn around someone’s day and is sure to brighten yours as well. Take pictures, make a video, or just tell us your good deeds on social media using the hashtag #cggivesback.
Have fun and start spreading the kindness – we’ll be right there with you!
