United Way promoting acts of kindness

United Way of the Lower Mainland is launching
a campaign this week to encourage one million people to engage in acts of local
love across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley by 2025.
To help whet your appetite, United Way is
teaming up with Vancouver-based artisan popsicle maker Johnny’s Pops. Keep
your eyes open for a special cart to ‘pop’ up in Steveston on Sunday, Sept. 9
at 1 p.m. at 3820 Bayview St. Lucky passers-by can enjoy one of Johnny’s Pops
two popsicles made with B.C. strawberries or raspberries.
“This is local love in action, which is all
about making our communities better,” explains Michael Mcknight, president and
chief executive officer of United Way of the Lower Mainland. “It can be as
small as surprising a neighbour with a treat, or as big as mobilizing thousands
to help the most vulnerable people in our communities. Everyone can benefit
from an act of local love.”
Popsicle lovers are encouraged to follow
United Way of the Lower Mainland on Twitter and Instagram to track the cart in
their neighbourhood, and to share the local love using #actsoflocallove.
