🧡💛🩵Spreading some Kindness.. 🙂
At Big Belly Deli, giving back to the community is not just a mission - it's a way of life. In a heartwarming gesture of generosity, we have recently extended it to a few fellow local shops by providing them with a selection of little treats to distribute to customers that might need a little pick-me-up..
As part of our commitment spreading joy and kindness, we have shared the gift of a free coffee and a chocolate treat with these shops, empowering them to brighten the day of anyone who could use a little extra cheer. These small tokens of appreciation are not just about the items themselves but about the thought behind them, serving as a reminder that kindness can truly make a difference in someone's day.
By entrusting our local businesses with the power to uplift spirits and bring smiles to their customers' faces, we hope to create a ripple effect of positivity throughout our community. Whether it's a friendly gesture from a barista or a sweet surprise at the checkout counter, these acts of kindness have the power..
As we navigate the challenges of daily life, let's all take a moment to appreciate the simple yet profound impact of a kind gesture Together, through the power of generosity and compassion, we can make our community a brighter, more caring place..
Hope everyone has a great day.. ... See MoreSee Less

My daughter did a design on her iPad just wondering how to submit?
Emergency service workers are twice as likely to experience mental health problems than the general population.
Today, world-leading researchers from Black Dog Institute and UNSW Sydney will launch new guidelines for the management of PTSD among emergency service workers.
The new guidelines draw on a wealth of clinical data and research findings from the Black Dog Institute and UNSW’s National Emergency Worker Support Service (NEWSS).
Since its launch in 2020, NEWSS has reached more than 125,000 emergency service workers and achieved a world-leading PTSD recovery rate of 80%. Read more information on NEWSS here 👉 bit.ly/3LD7Zld
