The Community Recognition Symbol

The What if We Chose Love Instead?™ Recognition Symbol represents more than participation.

It represents a shared commitment to building stronger communities through stories, kindness, creativity, connection, and opportunity.

Whether displayed on a Community Story Shelf, a website, a storefront, at an event, or within a participating organization, the symbol helps people recognize communities choosing to grow together.

Every sought out Community Story Shelf Package helps strengthen the initiative, expand opportunities for others, and support the long-term growth of Community Story Shelves wherever they are needed most.

The symbol is more than a logo.

It is a reminder that every community has stories worth sharing, and every act of kindness has the power to inspire another.
