KINDNESS NOMINATION CHALLENGE
Who do you want to nominate?
We want you to nominate someone deserving in your life that is making a difference in our community, big or small. This person could have shoveled your walkway, opened the door for you, or bagged your groceries. We encourage you to give back to those who give to others every day.
Weekly winners will be chosen throughout March and announced each Friday on radio station 94KX (94.1 WQKX). Prizes for the winners include gift cards to local small businesses and Be Kind. merchandise. Kindness Nominations are open and can be submitted online now through March 14th, 2022.
Interested in Volunteering?
This year’s campaign will focus on Kindness by spreading positivity and giving back to the community. Nonprofit organizations across the Susquehanna Valley will be featured on Bigfoot Country and Hanna Radio in hopes of connecting people who are interested in volunteering to the organizations that could use their help.

Why Kindness?
Here at the United Way, our focus on youth mental health has been of growing importance. According to research found in P.A.Y.S. data, more than 1 in 3 youth in the Susquehanna Valley feel sad or depressed most days. We are dedicated to making an impact on youth mental health by encouraging members of the Susquehanna Valley communities to make intentional acts of kindness!
The Greater Susquehanna Valley United Way is teaming up with Evangelical Community Hospital to bring the 2022 Kindness Campaign to schools and businesses in our community.
