Making a Difference: Volunteer Center of Southern Nevada and Jamba Juice
Kindness is contagious, and thanks to the Volunteer Center of Southern Nevada and Jamba Juice, it’s delicious as well! In recognition of Random Acts of Kindness Week, held February 14-20, local do-gooders were treated to an original sized smoothie for reporting what they did to put a smile on someone else’s face.
To help encourage good deeds, the Volunteer Center provided ideas on their website, as well as posted inspirational messages on Facebook and Twitter. “Random Acts of Kindness Week was about seeing what small efforts you can do to make a big difference within your community,” said Robin Kelley, director of the Volunteer Center of Southern Nevada. “Ideas ranged from greeting people with a smile, or complimenting everyone you encountered on a single day, to donating blood or volunteering time through our center.”
Collecting a refreshing reward was simply icing on the cake, with local Jamba Juice locations offering up their own blend of good cheer. “We were proud to take part in this partnership with United Way’s Volunteer Center and promote the pay-it-forward concept during Random Acts of Kindness Week,” said Cary Karrer, district manager of Jamba Juice Las Vegas. “We are always looking for ways to give back to the community.” For information on future volunteer opportunities, visit United Way’s Volunteer Center at www.uwsn.org/volunteer.
