Red Deer launches online kindness hub

May 4, 2021 | 3:07 PM

The City of Red Deer has launched a new online hub where local residents can share acts of kindness and caring that are happening throughout the city.

RedDeerCares.ca was launched May 4, and will serve to collect and share these stories while encouraging more of these acts in our community.

“Red Deer cares. This statement has rung true time and again over the last year,” said Tara Shand, Corporate Communications Manager, in a press release. “Stories of kindness and support have warmed hearts and inspired others to pay it forward, but a cohesive collection of these great stories was lacking. We’re pleased to now have a place where these stories can be collected and shared with anyone who needs a positivity boost.”

An extension of We Are Red Deer, officials say the site features positive community stories, kindness inspiration, events, and local business directories.

“Businesses need our support right now too, and one way to show kindness is to make a choice to support a local business. The Red Deer Cares site features online directories to make it easier for Red Deerians to find information about local options to make that choice easier,” said Shand.
