Every project is a new opportunity to spread kindness and make a lasting difference in the lives of children and families.
We are applying for grants and collecting donations to create a safe, engaging place for kids to play, create, and learn. We will offer music classes, art classes, craft days, story time, and a children's grief group. All profit from this children's center will go directly to Kit's Kindness.
Learn More →We have written books for children who have lost a sibling and those who have lost a parent, with plans to write about other topics as well. Our hope is that the books will give grieving children some comfort and help them feel less alone.
We have written and designed a Kindness Journal to be used throughout the year. These are sold and given to contributors to remind them of their generosity and inspire them to continue their acts of kindness.
When we hear of people going through rough times — like a woman losing a child, or a little boy struggling in the ICU — we send them a Box of Sunshine filled with notes, gifts, and trinkets to brighten their day and let them know someone is thinking about them.
Request a Box →Throughout the year we get requests from various individuals and organizations who need help. We reach out to our community and aid them in any way we can. We are grateful our reach expands across many states in order to help as many people as necessary.
Introducing the Kit's Kindness Cozy — a carseat-safe winter jacket so a child can be safely strapped into their car seat and then covered to keep warm. Wearing a thick winter jacket, straps cannot tighten properly which can cause injury in an accident. This Cozy eliminates that concern.
We continually work to support our local foster programs by donating things like duffle bags, toiletries, clothes, stocking stuffers, and more. We work with other local organizations to accomplish these goals.
Every year we contribute towards providing necessary school supplies for our local students and new books for the schools.
As part of our healthy kids initiative, we support and encourage youth sports. We offer scholarships to help cover sporting equipment and league/program fees to help out young athletes.
As part of our focus on children's education, we offer a once-weekly tutor to children who are struggling in school but cannot afford a tutor. The goal is to have them caught up to grade level before they begin school in the fall.
Kindness does not discriminate. Kit's Kindness is committed to including and helping everyone regardless of race, gender, age, or religion.
We constantly post information for caregivers on our social media — safety, health, education, and mental health tips to spread awareness and keep kids healthy, happy, and safe.
We have so many ideas for ways to help children. Your donations will help get new projects started across the U.S. Here are just a few of our big ideas:
Our theme was "Spread Kindness Like Wildflowers" and we passed out wildflower seeds as our act of kindness. We use these small tokens to kickstart a chain reaction of random acts of kindness.
Over 100 children who had signed up for the Share the Joy program in our local area were never sponsored and would not be getting any gifts. We partnered with KY Local and the Georgetown Moms to collect donations and buy presents for each child left on the list.
Our biggest year ever. We had dozens of volunteers passing out kindness cookies all over the United States and even more performing random acts of kindness.
We had volunteers all over the United States ready to perform over 500 acts of kindness.
When a child is adopted, they are given a handmade blanket to take home. Due to Covid-19, many organizations were not able to donate blankets. Kit's Kindness members made as many blankets as we could by hand to donate to these children for their special day.
People from Maine to California sent us notes on what they were doing in Kit's honor. Dozens of kindness cookies were distributed, people paid for coffee for the next in line, delivered bundt cakes, bought lunch for strangers, and one even paid for a full scholarship to summer camp at Kit's old daycare.
Our first year. We were overwhelmed by the response — hundreds of people performed an act of kindness in Kit's name. When we realized it brought so much joy to both the giver and receiver, we decided this was how we would celebrate Kit's life going forward.
Your donation directly funds these programs and helps us reach more children and families in need across the United States.
