November 13 is World Kindness Day. On this day, we strive to make the world a better place by practicing and promoting good deeds. As individuals or organizations, each of us has the power to create positivity and spread kindness. So to celebrate World Kindness Day, we put together a list of things that you can do to put a smile on someone\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

1. Call a family member or a friend<\/h2>\n

Whether it is your parents, relatives or your friend who you have not seen in a while, give them a call to let them know that you care. Ask them how their week is going. A small gesture can come a long way and make someone\u2019s day.<\/p>\n

2. Buy a stranger a coffee<\/h2>\n

Being kind and giving back has always been a true Canadian value. Therefore, this World Kindness Day, pay it forward by picking up a stranger\u2019s drive-thru order at your local coffee shop. You never know what someone is going through. A little kindness can lift them out of their darkest times.<\/p>\n

3. Donate your winter coats<\/h2>\n

Winter is here. For some people, that means cozying up in a blanket and sipping on hot chocolate. However, there are many who can\u2019t afford cold-weather; many who are walking in the freezing cold without a jacket or even shoes on their feet. If you have the means, drop off your old winter coats, scarves or mittens at your local shelter and clothing bank.<\/p>\n

4. Help your neighbour shovel snow<\/h2>\n

Check in with your neighbour to see if they are doing OK with the snow. Some seniors or people with disabilities can struggle with meeting the city\u2019s requirements when it comes to shoveling snow. If you have a neighbour in need, lend a helping hand by volunteering to shovel snow for them. Organize a local shovel team and help out around the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

5. Volunteer your time<\/h2>\n

There are many local non-profit organizations that are doing great things to enrich our community and tackle our problems. If you cannot support them with monetary donations, volunteer your time to help them achieve their mission. A few suggestions are The Food Bank<\/a>, Mary\u2019s Place<\/a>, and House of Friendship<\/a>, or The Humane Society<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6. Donate toys and children\u2019s books<\/h2>\n

If your kids have outgrown their toys, don\u2019t throw them out! Research your options for donating toys. You can drop them off at hospitals, preschools and nurseries, or donate them to charities like the Salvation Army<\/a>. Make sure you avoid giving broken toys or items with missing pieces and look into the institution\u2019s guidelines for toy donations.<\/p>\n

7. Cook someone a meal<\/h2>\n

This may seem simple but it would be a nice way to show appreciation for that special someone in your life. Plan a dinner with your mom, or your best friend who you don’t always get to see. Little moments like these will be unforgettable for that person.<\/p>\n

8. Support your co-worker who is going through a tough time<\/h2>\n

If you have a colleague who is going through a tough time, go out of your way to let them know that you are there to support them. Whether it is picking up a task for them, offering a listening ear or checking in to see how they are, your co-worker will be sure to appreciate it.<\/p>\n

9. Be kind to yourself<\/h2>\n

When we talk about \u201ckindness,\u201d we all think about kindness to others. Sometimes it takes a reminder for us to remember to be kind to ourselves. If you\u2019ve had a stressful week, it is OK to take a break, even when you feel like you can\u2019t afford it. In this crazy busy world, it is important to hit pause once in a while and show yourself some love.<\/p>\n
