Kindness of Strangers: Impactful Encounters - Capital READ Program

The 2026 Capital READ, The Social Biome: How Everyday Communication Connects and Shapes Us, reinforces that everyday positive interactions with strangers are a contributing factor to our well-being and overall happiness. 

Was there a time in your life when someone provided an important kindness or an act of generosity when you needed help? 

Come share your story and connect with others as we remember the impact of these meaningful moments.
