Far from Alone

10/10/2022

When we do nice things for others without expecting anything in return, we tend to underestimate how much the recipient appreciates it. That’s why we're excited to join our friends at Papa for Week to encourage everyone to do one kind gesture (big or small) that brings people closer together.

During this week, we're joining the challenge and encouraging others to do the same by using the hashtag . Interested in getting involved? Learn more here: https://resources.papa.com/be-a-pal-week

Oct. 10-16, 2022 is Be a Pal Week! Join us and share your impact on social media using the hashtag .
