How 8 kindness started
Small acts of kindness, like sending a handwritten note or a thoughtful gift, can make a big difference.
The goal of 8 kindness is to spread hope and foster genuine connections through simple acts of kindness, starting with lovingly prepared Seed Packets of Joy, Hope, and Kindness.
Receive a Kindness
Get a thank you or a smile, find a Seed Packet of Kindness. Anything small or big that brightened a moment in your day.
Pay It Forward
Share an act of kindness with someone else in your community – whether that’s a kind message, a gift, or reaching out to someone to see how they are doing.
Spread the Word
Share your experience, and encourage others to join the movement. Say hello! Contact us with your kindness stories.

We’ve received wonderful feedback so far, and we’re excited to continue spreading kindness across our community!
