City of Thousand Oaks Launches "12 Acts of Kindness" Campaign In Memory of the Borderline 12
In memory of those taken on November 7, 2018, and in honor of those that survived, the City of Thousand Oaks has launched a campaign designed to encourage the community to perform 12 Acts of Kindness. An act of kindness can be simple and performed on behalf of those closest to you, a stranger, an organization, or for some, an act of kindness for themselves.
Examples of acts of kindness: make a donation, pay it forward, volunteer, pick up trash, call a friend, support a local business, say hello to someone, send a card, etc.
Some additional ideas and printables:
Take What You Need
This tear-away sheet can be printed, snipped along the green lines, and placed in a public space, such as a neighborhood bulletin board, light pole, or other visible place where people can have a surprise encounter with the material. There is a pre-filled version and a blank version where you can write what they’d like to share with others. PRE-FILLED VERSION (PDF) BLANK VERSION (PDF)
Act of Kindness Cards
These cards can be printed and cut to hand out with some acts of kindness as noted on the sheet. By handwriting a name, it creates a personalized, impactful way to share the message.

Art Heals
This sheet is a platform for the creation of art by all ages and abilities. People are encouraged to make art on the sheet in any way they are able, with whatever they have around. This could be painting, drawing, gluing leaves and other found objects, etc. This is a real opportunity for beautiful creativity!
The 12 Acts of Kindness Campaign runs from November 1 to November 30, 2020.
