"One kind word can warm three winter months.” – Japanese proverb

Share your creativity and compassion with the community as part of Anythink’s One Kind Word Project. From Feb. 8-26, 2021, discover a number of ways that you can brighten someone’s day.

Notes of kindness

Decorate blank cards with personal designs and messages to strangers. Return cards to your local Anythink, and we’ll distribute them to community members in need through our partner organizations. You can also send cards to your family, friends, neighbors or anyone in need of a kind word. Speak with an Anythink staff member for postcards and decorating supplies.
