What will you do with the extra day we all get this Leap Year, on Saturday, February 29, 2020?The idea - - take part in Leap of Kindness Day and do something kind for a local non-profit.
To help you participate, we reached out to local nonprofits in the area and asked them for some ideas. While you can wait to deliver any items you might donate, we encourage everyone to start collection activities within your workplace or organization as soon as possible to maximize your participation and community impact.

NON-PROFITS: Let us know what you need and we will share those needs out in the community.

BUSINESSES: Let us know what you will be doing to support a non-profit and we will share your good will.

Use the #LeapofKindnessDay hashtag to help spread the word. We are also inviting our members and other local organizations to share with us their own creative ideas for participating in Leap of Kindness Day this year.WHAT SOME OF OUR NON-PROFITS ARE ASKING FOR:Everyone 4 Veterans would greatly appreciate volunteers to help make calls (1 hour/week) to dental offices and let them know about helping veterans so they can get the care they need.
