2. Discussion Questions:
What's something that you have done to help the community? A friend? It ways was it rewarding to you?
Can you think of areas/organizations in our community that could use volunteers or "extra support"?
What about people you are connected to that could use extra support? (don't name outloud) What could you do today to help support them? If it's not someone you know well, could you do something anonymously? Sometimes those are the best acts of kindness.
What can you do TODAY to spread a little happy/kindness?
