Neighbor Day is February 11

Seattle’s Neighbor Day Celebration invites us to indulge in random acts of kindness. The 23rd annual Neighbor Day is February 11. Time to plan! It’s a special day set aside to reach out to neighbors, make new friends, and express thanks to those who help make our neighborhood a great place to live.

Below is a list of ideas and resources that can help plan a Neighbor Day event or activity:

• Do something nice for a neighbor: take them to coffee, clean up their yard, bake them some cookies, invite them for a walk.
• Organize a neighborhood potluck, open house, or work party. It can be as big or simple as you want.
• Need more ideas? Here is an extensive list to help you.
• Want to know how your local business or community group can participate? Here are some ideas!
• If your event is open to the public, you can post it to the online events calendar.
• Use this flyer to post around the neighborhood or work area to remind people of the day.
• Share a “great neighbor” story or tell how you are celebrating by tagging Department of Neighborhoods on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram and using #NeighborDay.
