Show your love and kindness on Be An Angel Day - spread joy, lend a helping hand, or surprise someone with an unexpected gift!
Make sure to mark your calendars for August 22 - it's Be An Angel Day! This special day is all about spreading kindness and helping others in need, and it's a great reminder that we can all be angels in one way or another. The holiday was first created in 1999 by the charity Angels of America, which works to support those living with chronic illnesses. Since then, Be An Angel Day has grown into an international event that encourages people to reach out and make a difference - whether it’s through volunteering, donating or simply offering a kind word. So let’s join together on this special day and spread some good vibes!
