Join us May 11 – 15, 2026 for our Week of Kindness!
Let’s keep passing it forward.
Spread Kindness & Raise Awareness
2025 Week of Kindness
Kindness Is More Than a Moment—It’s a Movement.
Each year, we partner with five incredible nonprofit organizations, all making a powerful impact in our community. During our ePIFanyNow annual Week of Kindness, we rally volunteers from local corporations and small businesses to complete hands-on service projects that leave a lasting mark—projects like planting flowers, painting buildings, building wheelchair ramps, and leading safety workshops.
Nominations are now open to help us select the nonprofits we’ll highlight in 2026!
Together, we’ll amplify the ripple effect of kindness—one meaningful act at a time.
Then, we’ll wrap it all up with a free Community Celebration where families, friends, and neighbors come together to share stories, enjoy food, and honor the spirit of giving. The evening will also include the announcement of our Chris Rosati Hero Award winner—recognizing someone who embodies the mission of passing kindness forward.
“We aim to make this more than just a week. It’s a reminder of what’s possible when kindness takes center stage and our community comes together with hope, compassion, and joy.”
– Bob Hoffman, Founder of ePIFanyNow™
