Our Colonel Cameron staff were happy to support the Act of Kindness initiative, which was established by the Great Lakes Secondary School leadership students. They have two goals with this program:
1) To implement a meaningful community-wide initiative to spread hope and awareness regarding mental health.
2) To spread kindness. In other words, let people know they matter and be a voice for those who need it. Make a difference by doing something bigger than yourself.
The Act of Kindness proceeds go directly towards helping local families in need. In past campaigns, GLSS has paid rent for a family facing eviction, surprised countless families with presents, gas or groceries, all to show them they matter.
You can never know the ripple effect you create with one small gesture of kindness!
