Embodying the inspiring message of paying it forward, the “Share Kindness” activation on Lincoln Road and Euclid Avenue held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. will engage individuals of all ages and backgrounds to share positive messages with one another. Participants are invited to leave their mark on a uniquely designed wall art piece by writing kind words of encouragement to a friend, loved one or stranger. This artistic contribution will capture kindness in action. A second activation will take place at Publix at 6876 Collins Avenue from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Participants will have the opportunity to write letters of gratitude to members of Miami Beach Fire, Police and Ocean Rescue that keep the community safe. These kind messages will be hand- delivered to the City’s everyday heroes in thanks. In March 2017, the Miami Beach City Commission unanimously approved joining the international movement to become a City of Kindness — recognizing how a simple act of kindness, big or small, can bring people together to build a stronger community.
