Please join URecFit and Wellness in collaboration with the Student Counseling Center and NAMI@UMB as we celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Week, Feb. 13-19. Studies show that acts of kindness not only benefit others, but help improve our immune system functions, decrease stress, increase feelings of meaning and purpose, and can foster a sense of connectedness.
How can you get involved?
- Follow us on Instagram throughout the week for tips and ideas for how to demonstrate random acts of kindness.
- Join our Kindness Letter Writing Campaign
- Volunteer to write a letter to be mailed to Love For Our Elders.
- Pick up free note cards and a kind bar at one of our Kindness Letter Campaign Stations.
- Make a card for someone who you appreciate. Tell them what makes them special, how they brighten your day, or that they are doing a great job.
Instructions for letter writing:
