Celebrate kindness in Superior

Published on October 09, 2026

Know someone whose kindness makes Superior a better place? Nominate a neighbor, friend, coworker, volunteer or community member for a Superior Kindness Award. No act of kindness is too small.

Town Council proclaimed Nov. 7 to 14 as Kindness Week in early 2026 at the request of longtime resident Dr. Elia Gourgouris, a kindness ambassador for the nonprofit Kindness Worldwide, which says Superior is the first municipality in Colorado to do so.

Awardees will receive a Superior Kindness Award during Kindness Week, and with permission, selected stories may appear in Hello Superior and other Town communications.

Seven Simple Ways to Share Kindness

  1. Say hello. Introduce yourself to a neighbor you haven’t met or say hello when you pass someone on a walk.
  2. Check in. Ask a neighbor, friend or older adult how they’re doing. A quick call, text or doorstep hello can mean a lot.
  3. Lend a hand. Bring in a neighbor’s trash or recycling bins, carry groceries, or offer to help with a small task.
  4. Leave a little kindness. Write a thank-you note for a mail carrier, delivery driver, teacher, volunteer or someone else who makes your day better.
  5. Share what you have. Bring a neighbor a baked treat, share extra garden produce, or pass along something you no longer need.
  6. Make someone’s walk a little better. Pick up litter, give someone a friendly wave, or invite a neighbor to join you on a walk along Superior’s multi-use paths and trails.
  7. Thank someone who helps our community. Let a local business owner, volunteer, coach, neighbor, Town employee, or community member know you appreciate what they do. Send a quick thank-you, tell them in person, or nominate them for a Superior Kindness Award.
