Show Some Love with Random Acts of Kindness Week: February 8th – 13th

Show Some Love with Random Acts of Kindness Week: February 8th – 13th The partners behind #LoveHendo are happy to announce that the week of February 8th through February 13th will be known as Random Acts of Kindness Week. The initiative will be in support of Hendersonville’s non-profit community. Local Businesses will be able to select a non-profit to support during Random Acts of Kindness week. Businesses will be able to choose how they support the non-profit by setting out a donation jar, collecting items, or coming up with other unique ways to support the non-profit of their choice. Community members can participate by either finding a local business that is participating or doing their own random acts of kindness around the community. Random Acts of Kindness Week was started one year ago by Shelby Caruso, Mind Your Business (MYB) and Carrie Ann Chandler, Smart Start Partnership for Children. Shelby wanted a way for her fellow colleagues to celebrate Valentine’s Day by giving back and spreading kindness at MYB’s Office. Shelby chose Smart Start as the non-profit they would support that week and they were able to raise over a hundred dollars for the organization by donating a dollar for every act of kindness completed by MYB employees. For the 2021 celebration, organizers reached out to the partner organizations behind the #LoveHendo effort, the Henderson County Chamber of Commerce and Friends of Downtown Hendersonville to include Random Acts of Kindness Week in the #LoveHendo efforts
