Austin’s Community of Kindness Celebration

Chrestotes, the Greek term for “kindness”, is a special word. It is kindness that is serviceable; kindness that meets real needs, avoids harshness, and emphasizes the spirit in which an act is done.

We are inspired by people and stories that illuminate the places where compassion meets action, in the spirit of this “chrestotes” kindness.

Join us for one special evening of food, music & fun as we come together to recognize the individuals and organizations that were nominated and selected by this community for their kindness and dedication to the community.
