TOMS RIVER – Kindness can take many forms, and its effects can last a lifetime.

“A World of Kindness,” paintings by Ocean County families to show what warmth and goodwill mean to them, will be on display throughout the month of November at the Ocean County Library Toms River Branch.

The Ocean County Family Support Organization is the originator of the exhibit in the Second-Floor Gallery. Families have translated the experience of acts of generosity into images on canvas. Their art from the heart constitutes the theme of the exhibit.

“In a world of uncertainty and challenge, a single act of kindness can bring reassurance and peace to one’s heart,” OCFSO said in a prepared statement.

The Ocean County Family Support Organization is part of a statewide network of non-profit groups that provide peer-to-peer support, education and advocacy to parents and caregivers of children with developmental or behavioral disabilities, substance use, and involvement in child welfare and juvenile justice systems.

The network’s commitment to diversity, inclusion and justice, and its firm opposition to racism, marginalization and stigmatization, can be viewed on the OCFSO website.

The exhibit is free and open to the public in the Toms River Branch, 101 Washington Street. No registration is required. For more information, visit the Branch or call (732) 349-6200.
