In a recent meeting, the Burrow Council of New Freedom, Pennsylvania, announced the establishment of a \"Kindness Week\" from November 9th to 16th, 2024, coinciding with World Kindness Day. This initiative aims to recognize and celebrate acts of kindness within the community, encouraging individuals, families, schools, and organizations to engage in positive actions under the theme \"See the Good, Be the Good, Go the Extra Mile for Kindness.\"

The proclamation highlights the profound impact of kindness on personal well-being and community cohesion, noting that even small acts can lead to significant changes in people's lives. The council emphasized that kindness is humanity's greatest asset and should be actively encouraged and celebrated.

During the meeting, a heartwarming story was shared about a local resident, Kevin Smith, who experienced a random act of kindness when a woman returned his lost wallet. Inspired by this experience, Smith initiated the Kindness Week and plans to distribute kindness citations to individuals who perform good deeds.

The police department and local organizations, including the Lions Club, will participate in this initiative by handing out citations to recognize acts of kindness in the community. The council expressed hope that this week would foster a spirit of generosity and compassion among residents, reinforcing the importance of kindness in everyday life.
