The City of Lafayette invites the community to join them in making kindness a habit with the 21 days of kindness challenge!
Since 2019, the City of Lafayette has participated in the 21 Days to Be Kind Challenge. Also known as #BeKind21, the challenge encourages everyone (young and old) to build habits that foster kindness and promote the strength and wellness of their communities. Inspired by the idea that habits are formed by repeating an activity for 21 consecutive days, the challenge calls on participants to practice an act of kindness each day from September 1 to September 21, which is the U.N. International Day of Peace.
Lafayette invite everyone to participate in the challenge by being kind to their neighbors, friends, family members, fellow residents, themselves, and their community. It’s easy to participate:
- Print out the 2025 kindness calendar (PDF)
- Make a contribution to the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano. Review the list of most needed food items then drop off your donation of non-perishable food at:
-
- Main City Offices (3675 Mount Diablo Blvd., #210)
- Lafayette Community Center (500 St. Mary’s Rd.)
- Lafayette Library and Learning Center (3491 Mt. Diablo Boulevard)
- Or other donation locations around town!
- Be kind to yourself. For Self-care tips, see this list of curated resources from the Born This Way Foundation.
