Recognize a community hero with Waterbury Acts of Kindness

Nov. 12, 2021  |  By Waterbury Roundabout

Wishing to recognize the people in our community for their simple acts of kindness, Revitalizing Waterbury has launched Waterbury Acts of Kindness – a special program to thank 25 individuals the week of Thanksgiving. 

Anyone may nominate someone to acknowledge their outstanding service at a business or for their efforts or contributions to help make Waterbury a special place. Those chosen will receive a gift card to a local business.

“We see and experience it all the time – someone who stops to help, makes a bit of an effort, connects with us,” said Karen Nevin, Revitalizing Waterbury’s executive director. Acts of Kindness aims to thank those whose efforts may otherwise go unacknowledged. 

Ideas for recognition include someone who provided great service at a restaurant; someone who went above and beyond as a volunteer; someone who did an otherwise thankless task, brightened your day, or did something else to help make our town a better place. 

Nominees can be anyone who lives, works, or positively impacts the Waterbury community. Anyone of any age is eligible to be recognized and anyone may nominate someone.  

RW will accept nominations until Nov. 21. To nominate someone, go to revitalizingwaterbury.org and click on the link to the form asking who you are nominating and why.
