Blessing Bags

Our blessing nags are comprised of small items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, hand sanitizer, floss sticks, band aids, etc.

These bags go very fast when they are put up. Communites have people and families in need always, but we don't always see those people in need. They become part of the background in our daily lives. All people need kindness and help somtimes. These bags allow that small little helping hand to those in need who may not ask for it our front but could use it.

Community Events

Be Kind Initiative is working to come up with clothing drives, food drives, bake sales, ice cream socials, and more. We want to be connected to the communities we are involved in and grow our mission while helping those in need.

Being connected to the community is important to us as it allows us to know what the need of the community are so we can do what we can to help. All people need kindness and some help when they are down adn need lifting up.
