Latrobe Art Center's Week of Kindness


  • Latrobe Art Center 819 Ligonier Street Latrobe, PA, 15650 United States (map)

Partner with Latrobe Art Center, and spread kindness and creativity throughout Westmoreland County during the art center's first annual Week of Kindness!

From May 23-29, Latrobe Art Center is seaking to spread intentional acts of kindness throughout the community beginning with Pennsylvania's own designated day of kindness (1-4-3 Day) inspired by the life and legacy of Fred Rogers. Using specially designed "You've Been Fred Roger-ed" cards, create a ripple effect of kindness, and share some much needed joy and hope with your loved ones and fellow community members.

Here's how it will work:

  1. Anyone seeking to spread kindness will pick up a specially designed "You've Been Fred Roger-ed" card at any partnering location. (There’s even a card designed specifically for kids!!!)

  2. Using that card, the person, business, or organzation will perform an act of kindness, capture the moment, and share it with us on social media with the hashtag, #YouveBeenFredRogered.

  3. That person, business, or oganization will then leave their "You've Been Fred Roger-ed" card behind that contains instructions for the recipient of the act of kindness to perform an act of kindness of their own for someone else!

  4. The card will continue to be passed along throughout the community and create a ripple effect of kindness!

It's that simple!

Printable kindness cards can be accessed by clicking the link below, or you can pick up copies at Latrobe Art Center, the Latrobe Medicine Shoppe, Eclectique, Rose Style Shoppe, Chicora's, or Adams Memorial Library!
 

Pick up your “You’ve Been Fred Roger-ed” cards at the art center or any partnering location today, and join us in spreading kindness May 23-29!
