“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” ~AESOP

WOBURN KINDNESS DAY 2025

My next initiative to give-back to the community is to provide "birthday bags" to local residents in need through food pantries, schools, and organizations supporting these residents directly. Many children/families don't have the ability to have birthday celebrations. I've learned from my work with social workers that many children have never had cake from a fun, themed paper plate - a seemingly silly rite of passage for many of us. My goal is to fill 200 bags.

These bags will include:

  • Cake Mix

  • Frosting

  • Candles

  • Themed Paper Plates/Napkins

  • Balloons

Guests are welcome to decorate the bags and help assemble them on Woburn Kindness Day, March 20th.

Items can be dropped off at my home, my office, or from our Amazon Wishlist. Venmo @Laura-Mike-DeVelis and I'll do the shopping for you!

Every year, I like to put snacks out for our delivery drivers during busy seasons as a small “thank you” for all they do. Download this free, printable “thank you” sign to help send a nice message! Text me for my Canva link if you’d like to customize the sign for your needs.

We have had delivery drivers thank us for these treats by ringing our bell and leaving messages in our meal delivery apps. Each small act of kindness is contagious and perhaps one (or more) of these drivers pay it forward!

Don’t Forget your delivery drivers!

For the 2024 Holiday season, I chose to support Catie’s Closet in Massachusetts.

When you see a news-flash involving a car accident, house-fire, domestic violence incident, or any tragedy for that matter, do you ever stop to think about the kids that might be involved? What happens to them?

Catie’s Closet’s “SOS Urgent Response Program” supports our youth transitioning between these situations and will provide a custom package filled with proper-size and age-appropriate clothing along with hygiene items within 48hrs.

Catie’s Closet works closely with their vetted social services partners to support these children during their traumatic circumstances.

I hosted a drive to collect gently-used and new clothing along with new toiletries.

Thanks to all of my wonderful family, friends, AND clients, we filled two bins AND a donation box with new toiletries, underwear, socks, and gently-used clothing.
