🌟 Missouri Good Neighbor Week is Sept 28 – Oct 4 🌟
Hey neighbors! It’s time to celebrate kindness and community during Missouri Good Neighbor Week! Let’s come together to brighten someone’s day with a simple act of kindness—whether it’s helping with yard work, sharing a treat, hosting a driveway gathering or checking in on an elderly neighbor.
✨ Here’s the challenge: Do one kind thing for a neighbor this week, then visit the Missouri Good Neighbor Week website to share your story and be entered in our random drawing for over $1000 in prizes. Your small gesture could inspire others and help build a stronger and kinder community!
Let’s make our neighborhood shine by spreading kindness from Sept 28 through Oct 4. Ready to join? 💙
