WHAT IS KINDNESS WEEK?
We're glad you asked! It is an annual celebration of the kindness in our community - a time to shine a spotlight on the good and inspire people to spread kindness through their own actions. Kindness Week focuses on kindness to others, kindness to self and kindness to the earth. Follow us on Facebook (@WCKindnessWeek) or Instagram (@WCKindnessWeek) to stay up-to-date on events throughout the week! You can also sign up for our mailing list HERE.
Kindness Week provides an opportunity for people to make a personal commitment to being kind and recognizing the kindness of others around them. This aligns with the Westborough Connects mission of helping to build a more thriving, kind and connected community where everybody belongs.
our Partners in Kindness
We would like to thank our Partners in Kindness, who join with us to host some great events and initiatives throughout the community. If you would like to learn more about becoming a Partner in Kindness, you can email the team at westboroughconnects@gmail.com.
ISN'T KINDNESS IMPORTANT EVERYDAY (NOT JUST ONE WEEK OUT OF THE YEAR)?
YES! Being kind is always important and studies prove that kindness to others brings both physical and emotional benefits. But daily life sometimes "gets in the way" and we can lose sight of our own efforts related to kindness. School-aged children learn about and practice kindness as part of school curriculum. Kindness Week provides an opportunity to do this across the entire community - all age groups. We believe that this week has ripple effects throughout our community - and that it helps to define our community.
