More than 25,000 community members have signed the Kindness Community pledge. Both Sarasota and Manatee Counties issued official Kindness Community Proclamations, with the City of North Port adopting a Kindness Community Resolution. Numerous local businesses have donated their time and services to help spread the message. Also in the past year, Goodwill presented a successful, three-part “Kindness at Work Speaker Series” with guest speakers from local companies discussing their decisions to create a kinder workplace.
