What Is Project Kindness OK?

Project Kindness OK is a community organization based in Oklahoma! Our goal is to spread kindness by providing opportunities for everybody to change the community around them for the better! We do drives for local non-profits, write articles about simple ways to be kind, and host tons of other projects! Along with those, we also have lesson plans and fun kindness based activities for parents and teachers! We are not just a website. We are a community of people (that's you too!) who are trying to change the world with kindness!

Our story |
|
Hello! My name is Annie and I am a high-school student here in Oklahoma. When I was younger I was always looking for a way to change my community for the better. I remember calling animal shelters and food banks asking if I could volunteer when I was in elementary school! Understandably, I was told I was too young and an age limit made me believe for a moment I was too young to make a difference. My 8th grade year, I started collecting holiday cards for a local children's hospital! I thought it would be a great way to bring some extra joy to those kids around the holiday season, after all I was a kid and I still am! I gathered hundreds of cards from friends and family and got some friends together to sign them. I was able to deliver all of those cards and I learned that it is truly the little acts of kindness that make a big difference. I continued doing that around the holidays for two years. The following summer I decided to share with the world that it truly doesn't matter your age or how much time or money you have to spare, you CAN make a difference!
