Brighten Daily Walks with Love Notes

Take over the sidewalks of your city or town with heartwarming #LoveNotes. Armed with chalk and creativity, write messages of love, gratitude, and kindness to uplift the spirits of everyone who strolls by. Share your sidewalk masterpieces using #GivingTuesday, turning the act of spreading love into a community-wide initiative. Express your appreciation for local first responders and teachers, exchange greetings with neighbors, inscribe inspirational quotes, or leave friendly messages for those taking their daily walks. As your town’s sidewalks become a canvas of love, you’ll discover the incredible power of community-driven acts of kindness.

TorontoGives leaders delivered chalk to neighborhoods through food pantries and food delivery services last year. Check out the link below to see what was in the packages.
