Kinecta Federal Credit Union Celebrated 2022 Random Acts of Kindness Week and Invites the Community to Nominate Kind Individuals for its Ongoing #KinectaKindness Awards

MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif., Feb. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kinecta Federal Credit Union conducted a full week of acts of goodwill and positivity in celebration of the 2022 Random Acts of Kindness Week. To continue honoring generosity and kindness, Kinecta is inviting the community to nominate caring individuals for its ongoing #KinectaKindness Awards program.

The #KinectaKindness Awards is a program designed to inspire acts of kindness and shine a light on stories of goodwill – large and small – throughout Kinecta's communities. Individual nominations can be made by filling out a short form at https://www.kinecta.org/community/kinecta-kindness. Following selection, Kinecta will donate $250 to the nonprofit of the #KinectaKindness Awards winners' choice. Awardees are announced through Kinecta's Facebook and Instagram Stories twice a month.

"We've all seen friends, neighbors, and even strangers demonstrate what it means to be a caring member of our community. Help us celebrate kind and positive role models across our communities and nominate someone for their goodwill and gestures of kindness," said Latrice McGlothin, Executive Director, Kinecta Community Foundation.

#KinectaKindness was created in 2019 as an extension of Kinecta's Random Acts of Kindness Week. To celebrate the 2022 Random Acts of Kindness Week, Kinecta supplied team members with gift cards they used to surprise neighbors and community partners with acts of goodwill, such as buying school supplies for a nearby classroom or treating a member to a latte.
