Operation Kindness - A Week of Service
Hosted by Mid-Michigan Spartans.
Volunteer registration is closed.
Project Description
Simple gestures of kindness and service are good for the recipients and those extending the gesture. In the spirit of Spartans Serve week, please join the Mid-Michigan Spartans in infusing intentional acts of kindness and service into our community, families and friendship circles. These acts can be carried out on the individual days noted below, or in clusters when time allows. If you can't do them all, that's OKAY! Those signing up for this project will receive a daily email reminding them of the next day's task with ideas for how to fulfill the day's task. Participants who use social media are asked to post a picture when the task is complete - taking care not to include identifiable pictures/addresses of recipients to respect their privacy - with @MidMichSpartans & @MSUAlumni tagged and the hashtag #SpartansServeWeek.
