Let’s spread kindness! Observed every February, and celebrated this year from February 11-17, 2018, #RAKWeek is an annual opportunity to unite through kindness. Led by the Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) Foundation and formally recognized in 2000, this seven-day celebration demonstrates how kindness starts with one. It’s an opportunity for everyone to leave the world better than they found it and inspire others to do the same.
We’re proud to partner with RAK and the Denver Public Library to bring you RAK Week activities at library branches around the city.
