Sprout-a-Smile Spreads Kindness

Stories Events Sprout-a-Smile Spreads Kindness

November 13^th is World Kindness Day and Little Sprout Café is offering patrons an opportunity to spread some kindness on this day.

“Sprout-A-Smile is a way to pay it forward by purchasing a breakfast meal for someone you don’t necessarily know,” says Walter Mercer, the café chef. “We’ve created a specific Sprout-a-Smile breakfast special just for this.”

You can put a smile on a stranger’s face when you buy them breakfast!

The Sprout-A-Smile breakfast special consists of a Little Sprout Breakfast sandwich and a coffee or tea for just $14.

The process is simple. When you buy the Sprout-a-Smile Breakfast Special, you’ll be given a piece of paper on which you can write a description of the person you’d like to gift it to; for example, a teacher, a veteran, a dog-lover, a college student, a grandpa. The description is up to you. You put that piece of paper on the bulletin board provided. When a person matching that description comes into the café, they can take that piece of paper off of the board, bring it to the cashier, and they’ll receive that breakfast for free.

Sprouting smiles is easy – just describe the stranger you want to whom you want to be kind!

Matt Dirks is the CEO of Communitas Supportive Care Society, the organization that facilitates Little Sprout Café as a social enterprise. He says the Sprout-a-Smile initiative is a great way to practice kindness.

“It’s such a simple way to do something nice for someone you don’t even know,” Matt says. “I hope people take us up on this opportunity!”

Sprout-a-Smile launches on Friday, November 13^th, World Kindness Day and runs to the end of November. Little Sprout Café is located at 102 – 2776 Bourquin Crescent West in Abbotsford and is open from 8am – 3 pm. Learn more about the café at littlesproutcafe.ca
