Monday July 26th through Sunday August 1st

Announcing the inaugural Gilroy Week of Kindness! In remembrance of the 2019 Gilroy Garlic Festival mass shooting upon its second anniversary, we encourage you to participate from Gilroy and beyond in taking an active role to make our communities kinder during this week!

We are looking forward to partnering with the Gilroy Strong Resiliency Center on the first annual Gilroy Week of Kindness to show compassion for a community that was shaken by gun violence and hate. 

No matter where you are based, we invite you to join us in being kind to all, as everyone is facing their own struggles that may not always be visible. Some ways you can participate in the Week of Kindness are: by paying it forward, opening doors for a stranger, writing a friend a nice note, and much more.

We’re excited to dedicate a week to making our communities kinder for all!
