On November 13 - World Kindness Day - Goodwill Manasota celebrated the first anniversary of the Kindness Community movement. Jacqueline Moore, past mayor of North Port and Goodwill Ambassador, partnered with Goodwill Manasota to launch the campaign designed to make a positive impact by bringing people together and encourage acts of kindness. More than 25,000 community members have signed the Kindness Community pledge. Both Sarasota and Manatee Counties issued official Kindness Community Proclamations, with the City of North Port adopting a Kindness Community Resolution. Numerous local businesses have donated their time and services to help spread the message. Also in the past year, Goodwill presented a successful, three-part “Kindness at Work Speaker Series” with guest speakers from local companies discussing their decisions to create a kinder workplace.
