How to Do It:

Pick up a small, thoughtful gift—like a potted plant, a box of tea, or a homemade treat—and leave it at a neighbor’s door with a kind note. The note could say, “Just a little something to brighten your day!” or “Wishing you a wonderful day, neighbor!” You don’t have to stay for a chat—just leave the gift and let the kindness speak for itself.

A small, unexpected gesture can strengthen community bonds and remind people they are cared for. Many people feel disconnected from their neighbors, and a simple act of kindness can change that.
