Create an Acts of Kindness Advent Calendar collaboratively to be ready for December 1st. Brainstorm 24 acts of kindness that draw from shared values across various faiths. Collect 12 paper towel rolls, cut them in half, and insert the acts of kindness on strips of paper inside. Residents can wrap these rolls in festive paper to craft the calendar. Placed in a communal space, each day of December, residents can open a roll to discover the act of kindness they'll perform. This project promotes a sense of unity, compassion, and shared purpose within the community.
