Random Acts of Kindness

The Random Acts of Kindness program is designed to brighten someone's day, make a wish come true or give someone a helping hand.

We all have the potential to uplift our community and make Barrie a better place. Kindness is contagious – it has a ripple effect. Sharing stories of acts of kindness can inspire others to perform their own.

This program aims to inspire, motivate and empower others to make a positive difference in our community.
