Leap of Kindness Day 2024
What will you do with the extra day we all get this Leap Year on Thursday, February 29, 2024?
Our idea - - to take part in Leap of Kindness Day and do something kind for someone else.
To help you participate, we reached out to local nonprofits in Hilliard and asked them for some ideas. While you can wait to deliver any items you might donate, we encourage everyone to start collection activities within your workplace or organization as soon as possible to maximize your participation and community impact.

The Hilliard Chamber is excited to bring this opportunity to our community and partner with the Hilliard Community Foundation! Let's use this extra day on Thursday, February 29th to do something kind for someone else. We are inviting all of our members, their employees and the community at large to participate.
What are ways that you can participate? Some ideas:
- Take flowers or non-skid socks to a local nursing home
- Collect clothes, food, or personal care items for a local shelter
- Send a thank you card to someone who means a lot to you
- Clean up a local park, playground, or trail
- Bake cookies for teachers, school bus drivers, or crossing guards
