WUCF's Annual Be My Neighbor Day Celebration

WUCF is once again celebrating kindness with its annual Be My Neighbor Day event. Running throughout the month of February, participants can learn what it means to be a caring neighbor with our Kindness Kit activities and virtual events. 

Kicking off February 1, download or pick up a Kindness Kit that includes five at-home activities for celebrating kindness and what it means to be a caring neighbor. WUCF will also host four live interactive Virtual LIVE PBS KIDS Time events that explore our world with Daniel Tiger- and Meet The Helpers-themed activities. Register here.

Download the virtual Kindness Kit and watch GRR-IFIC Neighbors below. 

Remember to share your photos using #BeMyNeighborDay so that we can include them in our image gallery.

WUCF will not be hosting an in-person event this year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. All activities are virtual. 

Celebrate kindness and what it means to be a caring neighbor by downloading our kindness kit! Each kit includes five at-home activities including a bedtime routine chart, family kindness pledge banner, kindness secret message puzzle, community helpers map, and hide-and-seek with nature. Kindness Kits can be printed at home or picked up at a local library (library list coming soon), while supplies last.

Kindness kits and companion guide can be printed at home.

Don't forget to share photos of your activities using #BeMyNeighborDay so that we can include them in our image gallery.
