Wrap Your Community in Warmth: A Tree of Generosity Activity

As part of GivingTuesdayOmaha, a volunteer group known as the Secret Kindness Agents embarked on an inspiring mission. They adorned trees and lamp posts in a local park with scarves, mittens, hats, and socks, many of which they had lovingly knitted themselves. Each warm item bore a label that simply said, “I’m not lost! If you are out in the cold, please take this to keep warm.” The labels also provided crucial information about how to access the nearby warming shelter and a phone number for arranging transportation. Now, we pose the question – would you organize something as heartwarming as this in your neighborhood on GivingTuesday?
