Friday October 21st, 2011. All across campus, everywhere!
The concept is simple: On Friday, Oct. 21, students, faculty, staff and retirees can show their kindness, and appreciation for someone or something.
It's kindness – just because...and it's all a part of Kindness Friday
Everyone is invited to do something special, to show kindness to one another, students, the community, or the environment.
FILL-THE-SQUARE
University-wide, this year's initiative will be Fill-the-Square with
non-perishable food items to benefit the Canadian Food Sharing Association, and the MUN Food Bank.
This year, Chartwells will be collecting food donations for Fill-the-Square. When you bring a food item to a Chartwells retail unit (Arts, Science, Education & Engineering) starting Thursday October 13, 2011 until next Thursday, October 20, 2011, you will get your 12oz coffee or tea for $1!
When dropping off your donations on Kindness Friday, be on the lookout
for some local celebrities who will be helping us Fill-the-Square!
