Several events will take place in August in Carroll County.
From concerts to festivals to fundraisers, there are many opportunities for the community to spend time outdoors.
Action for Kindness is one of the county organizations hosting an event this month.
Holding their second annual Kindness Walk from August 19th to September. Starting Sept. 29, residents can take a stroll through downtown Westminster and vote for their favorite hand-painted “Be Kind” sign to support local nonprofits, according to its website.
Tina Thomas, executive director of 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. PTAs and PTOs, including the William Winchester Elementary PTA, the West Middle School PTO and the Westminster Elementary PTO.
“The plaques will be categorized to support each of the nonprofits, so when you vote for a plaque, a portion of all proceeds will go to that 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 children and neighbors, and then allowing that conservation to inspire action to be kind to ourselves and others,” she said. “Perhaps part of that action is to support other nonprofits on the tour and the sponsored businesses and venues that are participating.”
