The Executive Director from United Way Dan Schidel recently had an interview with EnidLIVE! about the massive event. He started by talking about the various events happening. “We have been out providing resources and supplies to a lot of different non-profits, food banks, and other organizations throughout Northwest Oklahoma.”
He also spoke about when they started doing this special event. “There’s what’s called an International Day of Kindness, World Day of Kindness if you will. And that is always on November 13. And so each year United Way in Northwest Oklahoma, beginning in 2014, each year since then we’ve gone out and spread kindness throughout our community and all the communities in Northwest Oklahoma.”
