Columbus Stretches World Kindness Day Into a Five-Day Celebration Starting November 13, With Free Meals and School Grants
November 13 is World Kindness Day, and the Center for HumanKindness at The Columbus Foundation in Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio, has stretched the day into a five-day Celebrate Kindness campaign that launched on November 13, now in its fourth year.
On the first day, the center released short social-media videos of community members describing what kindness means to them. On day two, November 14, it will serve free meals or doughnuts at eight YMCA locations in Franklin County. On day three, November 15, it will open its swag closet to the community. On day four, November 16, it will announce seven surprise grants to organizations that serve schools. On the final day, November 17, it will share photos from the week and highlight local nonprofits.
Organizers say one day of kindness is not enough, and they hope five consecutive days of activities will spread kindness across Columbus neighborhoods. Residents can visit the Celebrate Kindness page on The Columbus Foundation website or follow the Center for HumanKindness on social media to take part.
