A local woman has started a Facebook Page with the hope of encouraging people to paint rocks and leave them around St. Joseph to bring some kindness to those who find them.

Shena Speer said she started the St. Joseph Mo. Rocks Facebook Page a little more than a month ago after stumbling across a similar page for another city.

“You can buy rocks or find rocks, you paint them and then you go and hide them around town. Then when someone else finds them it’s a way to encourage them and just put a smile on their face and be kind,” Speer said.

She said other St. Joseph community members have started getting involved.

“I’ve had several of my rocks found so far,” Speer said. “I found my first rock last night (Thursday). I found it at Hyde Park.”
