Join SAFE Homes in 21 Days of Kindness #kindspartanburg

The City of Spartanburg has launched the 21 days of Kindness Challenge to remind all of us about the importance of being kind to one another. This initiative was inspired by Dr. King’s notion of a “beloved community” and in celebration of the City of Spartanburg’s Martin Luther King Jr. Unity Week Conversations.
Here is a very short video explaining the challenge

actually put a smile (even though we can’t see it  ) on someone’s face.
