The CARES Program invites the community to participate in a World Peace Day Celebration scheduled for Saturday, September 20, 2025, at New Hope Family Life Center.
This global observance, recognized by the United Nations each year, is devoted to strengthening peace awareness both locally and worldwide. This year’s theme, “Act Now for a Peaceful World,” is a powerful reminder that peace is not passive; it is built through everyday actions of kindness, compassion, and unity.
Our peaceful event will bring together families, schools, organizations & law enforcement across San Bernardino to celebrate acts of peace through creativity, service, and youth engagement.
Some of the featured activities include: Kids Peace Art Wall where children create drawings of what peace means to them. Peace pledges and Tree of Kindness, where families write pledges for peace and them on a tree in the community. Chalk the Walk for Peace, which include youth and families drawing and writing peaceful and positive messages on sidewalks, and an arts and craft station where kids makes bracelets with peaceful messages and exchange them with friends and family. Other activities include a poetry and reflection board, kindness cards and a peace meal.
“We encourage everyone to share their acts of peace on social media with the hashtags: #IChoosePeace | #Pledge4Peace | #CARES4Peace,” said Che’ Wright, CEO of the Women’s Inspiration Network (W.I.N.) and organizer of the World Peace Event at the New Hope Family Life Center. “We want the community to join us as we model peace for the next generation and answer the call to Act Now for a Peaceful World. Together, we can inspire kindness, unity, and hope throughout our community,” concluded Wright.
