Kindness Week 2025!

Kindness Week 2025!

We invite community members, organizations, and businesses to all come together to celebrate our 8th Annual Kindness Week during November 8-15, 2025!

KINDNESS WEEK is a community celebration to shine the spotlight on the good that happens every day and inspire people to spread kindness through their own actions and connect with others to help us live and fulfill Spark's mission of creating a community where no one feels alone, bullied, unsupported or unconnected.

Would you, your family, your business, your school, or your organization like to learn more or participate? Fill out this form or email: kindnessweek@sparkkindness.org.
