Several events are taking place in August in Carroll County.
From concerts to festivals to fundraisers, there are plenty of opportunities for the community to spend time outdoors.
Action for Kindness is one of the organizations in the county hosting an event this month.
Holding its second annual Kindness Stroll Aug. 19-Sept. 29, residents can take a walk around Downtown Westminster and vote for their favorite hand-painted “Be Kind” sign to support local nonprofits, according to its website.
Tina Thomas, executive director at Action for Kindness said the event is a fundraiser to support the nonprofit as well as other nonprofits in the community, including the Boys and Girls Clubs of Carroll County, the Carroll County Arts Council and Find Your Purpose Inc. and PTA’s and PTO’s including the William Winchester Elementary PTA, the West Middle School PTO and the Westminster Elementary PTO.
“The signs will be categorized to support each of the nonprofits, so when you vote for a sign a portion of all proceeds go to this partner nonprofit,” she said.
Thomas said the event will serve as a way for residents to spread kindness this summer.
“Residents can help inspire kindness by making it part of the conversation with their kids and with their neighbors and then allowing that conservation to inspire action for us to be kind to ourselves and others,” she said. “Perhaps part of that action is supporting the other nonprofits in the stroll and the sponsored businesses and locations who are participating.”
