November is National Gratitude Month

November is National Gratitude Month, and with that we want to remind you to find new ways to be kind. There are two key dates to mark in your calendar to do this:

  • November 13 - World Kindness Day: Spread kindness and develop compassion. Take this oppportunity to provide your daily dose of kindness, such as giving blood. Your small acts can make a big impact! To find a local blood drive near you, please visit the American Red Cross website at https://www.redcross.org/give-blood.html.

  • November 15 - National Philanthropy Day: Celebrate generosity and the power of giving. As a Barnes employee, you can help out a local charity by submitting the appropriate documentation for the Company's Matching Gift Program or a Volunteer Action Award! Ask your local HR Representative for more information.

Take a moment to express thanks, spread kindness on World Kindness Day, and celebrate the impact of giving on National Philanthropy Day.
