Teaming up to Spread Kindness in our Community |
Members of the Waveny team volunteered in partnership with the Wilton Chamber of Commerce, Wilton Police Department, Wilton Public School and the Riverbrook Regional YMCA to help spread random acts of kindness throughout Wilton. Yellow roses were distributed randomly to shoppers, drivers and pedestrians as they went about their business, with the single request to pass along the kindness throughout their own day. We are grateful to be included in this special event! |
