Upcoming First Fridays Themes
On the First Friday of every month we will highlight a particular group of people to shower with kindness! We encourage you to reach out to these people and send us your results for a re-cap social media post at the end of the month.
Be Good To Healthcare Heroes
Friday June 4, 2021
Our healthcare workers have had a brutal year and they are still working hard. Buy lunch or a coffee for someone you see in a uniform, send a handwritten note telling your doctor or medical professional how much their care meant to you, share BGTP Goodies™ to recognize that they are Good to people every day.
Be Good To Long Distance Family & Friends
Friday July 2, 2021
Remember the people you don't see every day but that have supported you from afar. Send a handwritten note, call or text just to say Hi, go public and tell them how much they mean to you on social media, send flowers or yummy treats. Better yet - visit!!
Be Good to Educators
Friday August 6, 2021
Celebrate back to school and thank a teacher from your school days, ask a teacher if they have a wishlist on Amazon or through another channel, let them know when you see that they are having a positive impact on your child, volunteer in the classroom, volunteer to help a parent who is homeschooling or has a student who is learning remotely.
Be Good to the Service Industry
Friday September 3, 2021
Show extra kindness to waitstaff, retail workers, valets, checkers, and tellers and tip extra if you can, give them a flower or BGTP sticker, say "Thank you" and mean it, give them a real compliment and share it with their manager.
Be Good to Students
Friday October 1, 2021
Students need all the support and encouragement we can give them, and we need to teach them about kindness as well as ABC's. Volunteer as a mentor at a youth center, take a teenager to lunch and be available to listen, tell your kids, grandkids, neighbors' kids how special they are - be specific!
Be Good to Seniors
Friday November 5, 2021
In Alzheimer's Awareness Month, let's take the time to put some love on our seniors. Volunteer at a senior center or assisted living facility calling Bingo or sharing a skill you have, visit your grandparents and listen to their stories, mow a senior's yard or rake the leaves up, check on your older neighbors, run an errand for a senior.
Be Good to Small Businesses
Friday December 3, 2021
As holiday shopping comes to a peak, don't forget local small businesses that support your community and your neighbors. Let a small business know how much you value the connection to your area, write a glowing review online, promote a local business on your social media pages, shop small and local for holiday gifts and meals.
