Celebrate Simple Acts of Care with the Whirlpool Every day, care Project

Every so often, we hear about stories where a person paid for a meal or someone’s cup of coffee and the gesture starts a chain reaction where each person helps the next in line. While these mass “acts of kindness” are great, there are also smaller acts of care, that often go unnoticed, that are worth of celebrating. The Whirlpool Every day, care Project celebrates the small acts of kindness that occur throughout the day – from parents who provide their kids with a safe and loving home to the stranger holding open a door or helping someone with their groceries.

An every day act of care for your family or your community doesn’t require a special event or a large donation. An “Every day, care” can occur when you set a good example for a child or simply caring and asking how someone’s day was. The thing about these small acts, is that while it might not seem like a big deal to you, it can be a huge difference to the person receiving. Spending that extra bit of time to listen to someone, or even just saying “Thank you” to someone, matters.

Whether it’s making sure the laundry doesn’t pile up or preparing healthy meals for dinner, I’ve been looking for more ways to do more Every day, care acts in the home. Outside the home, we’ve found other ways to support the community through donations. Outgrown clothing, extra school supplies, old (but working) appliances, and other unused items found better homes at local schools and churches. We were honored when were learned that our appliances had been donated to a family receiving their first home.

Honor a caring act or caring person in your life today by using hashtag #EveryDayCare on social media. Visit the Whirlpool Every day, care Project to learn more about how Every day, care acts can impact your community.
