The gift of kindness

“A single act of kindness throws out
roots in all directions, and the roots
spring up and make new trees.
The greatest work that kindness
does to others is that is makes them
kind themselves.” - Amelia Earhart


On November 9th we will be celebrating our generous and dedicated volunteers who have gathered change for neighbors in need, who have spread the word about Gathering Change, and have even danced for change (see video clip below).

Please join us at The Lynnfield Meeting House at 7pm for our annual meeting which will include a special guest speaker plus light refreshments.

To receive a kindness is a great gift, but
to give a kindness is an even greater one!
