It took a team to make it happen.
With local resources stretched thin for people living outside in freezing temperatures, SPiN Café stepped up along with Island County Human Services, The Haven, supportive churches, and individual community members to keep guests safe and warm. A Whidbey News Times article featured words from our own Michele Chapman, SPiN Executive Director. Take a look right here:
Seen around our beautiful island lately: A beautiful sentiment, and it does in fact look like it’s contagious.
Since SPiN introduced “Kindness is Contagious” yard signs in January, dozens of them have sprouted in lawns, gardens, walkways, and car windows all over our community.
Do you have your sign? They’re available at:
Oak Harbor Chamber office, 32630 SR 20
and at SPiN’s Day Shelter at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, 555 SE Regatta Drive
We suggest a $25 donation to help us keep spreading kindness to those in need in our community.
Let’s have some fun with this! Pick up a sign, and send us a photo of it in your yard, parking strip, car window, or whatever creative place you can think of. Even tell us a story if you want. We’ll post your pictures on our social media with our thanks for your support.
You can email your photo to spincafeoh@gmail.com or message it to our facebook page.
Thanks for being a spreader!
