First Saturday Service: Random Acts of Kindness
Saturday, September 6
on the streets of Portland!
After taking a little break during July and August, we're ready to start up again with First Saturday Service! Our first event to kick off the fall is going to be a blast!
We'll meet up about 10 am at Coffee By Design (620 Congress Street, Portland) and then head out in groups to commit Random Acts of Kindness -- things like handing out coupons for free cups of coffee, stuffing parking meters, opening doors, picking up trash, maybe giving out quarters for loads of laundry at the laundromat, dropping quarters on the sidewalk, offering free hugs, stuff like that...
We'll plan to end with lunch, and of course, we'll invite find some people who look like they could use a free lunch or a friendly conversation to join us.
Get in on the action and help us spread a little joy on the streets of Portland this Saturday as we commit Random Acts of Kindness!

Learn more about Cultivating Community -- a wonderful organization that describes its mission this way:
Cultivating Community is growing sustainable communities. Based in Portland, Maine, we use organic, sustainable practices to grow food in our community and school gardens and at partnering farms. That food feeds those among us who are most vulnerable. And we use our community food work as an engine for high-impact youth and community development programs that reconnect people to the natural and social systems that sustain us all.
