Basic Kindness

Basic Kindness creates awareness about food and housing insecurity by providing resources and support for individuals or groups to engage in meaningful and mutually rewarding exchanges through intentional acts of kindness. We are a community of kids and adults who want to bring more kindness into the world one act at a time.

Basic Kindness Bag Program – Basic Kindness Bags are care packages for people experiencing hunger or homelessness. Each bag contains between two and three dozen items that we consider to be basic necessities. People can take a free basic kindness bag as they leave events or business so that they will have something to share the next time they meet someone asking for help. As our VP of Operations states, “We give away bags at concerts”.

​

Kids Craft Kits – In response to the pandemic Basic Kindness is proving care packages for kids sheltering in place.  We are creating care packages with literature, activity books, and crafts to keep children’s minds engaged and occupied during this unprecedented time.  Contact us to learn how you can help support the Kids Kits.
