Being kind to others makes you feel good.
Being rude or gruff to others, even when you feel they deserve it, doesn’t feel good. Especially later, when you’ve had time to think about it.
You tend to think about it, long after, and wonder why and how, next time you will do things differently.
Time for a real life experience.
One of our associates, we’ll call Greta, was walking to her car, after shopping at a grocery store, and she saw out of the corner of her eye a person who appeared to be homeless, watching and walking towards her.
Greta was starting to get annoyed.
Greta walked away from her car, hoping the other person would give up and leave. It was obvious that Greta did not want to talk to her.
The other person stuck around.
At some point, Greta had to walk to her car.
So she did.
The person approached her and Greta held out her hand in a stop sort of way and told the person she can hear her from where she is standing.
The other person, an older woman, told Greta a story about how her grandchildren needed money for food and other things.
Greta didn’t believe her for a second.
The woman asked for money.
Greta smiled, apologized and said she didn’t have any, which she didn’t.
The older women sadly walked away and muttered how some people can be so mean.
Greta felt bad.
Why was Greta initially annoyed?
Greta works two jobs, one part time to help make ends meet. She has children as well and she is tired of sacrificing time away from her children to make money and then just give some of it to a homeless person who came across as someone that just didn’t want to work, or made really bad decisions when she was younger to place herself in this situation.
Still, Greta felt bad and made a decision.
From now on, she will carry ten, one dollar bills in her purse. In the future, if a woman like this approaches her, she will smile and give her one dollar, even if she doesn’t believe her.
What is the harm?
What is the benefit?
Greta will feel much better about being kind and being mildly taken advantage of than acting like Lady Scrooge.
Kindness is a philosophy that the world needs more of. Wouldn’t you agree?
There is a large company who produces delicious healthy snacks who feels the same way.
We might learn something from them and, inwardly, greatly benefit from it.
KIND Celebrates World Kindness Day with Nourishing Acts of Kindness Across the Country

NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — KIND Snacks is on a mission to build a kinder and healthier world – one act, one snack at a time. The brand believes that nourishment includes and goes beyond the food we put into our bodies. That is why, this World Kindness Day, KIND is joining forces with partners to support communities across the country with nourishing acts of kindness.
“Kindness is in our DNA, and it is why we collectively do the things we do,” said Chief Marketing Officer at KIND, Osher Hoberman. “This World Kindness Day, we embraced the opportunity to spread kindness by focusing on nourishing our communities.”
As part of KIND’s World Kindness Day events, KIND expanded its partnership with Wellfare, a New York-based nonprofit bringing an innovative approach to tackling food insecurity and breaking the barrier to accessibility for high-quality nutritious snacks. KIND donated $20,000 to help Wellfare launch its Better Box in a new NYC neighborhood: the Lower East Side. Historically available in Bushwick and East Harlem, Wellfare’s Better Box program is a monthly subscription where low-income families can pick up premium, nutritious packaged groceries for free from convenient community outposts. KIND Team Members also participated in the launch of Wellfare on the Lower East Side by packing and distributing Better Boxes for community members.
“KIND has been an incredible ally for Wellfare and the communities we serve,” said Cole Riley, Founder of Wellfare. “From product donations to funding support to employee volunteer projects, KIND has been helping us deliver more nutritious food to families in need — and this extension of our partnership is a perfect example of their soaring commitment to our mission.”
KIND also partnered with Little Words Project, the original word bracelet brand inspiring kindness through wearable affirmations, for the launch of a custom LIVE KIND bracelet, available now on kindsnacks.com and littlewordsproject.com. In celebration of World Kindness Day, together, KIND and Little Words Project will donate $10,000 to FoodCorps, a nonprofit that supports schools in providing students with nourishing meals, food education, and culturally affirming experiences with food. In addition to the LIVE KIND bracelet, KIND supports FoodCorps’ mission through the brand’s Snack and Give Back program, which includes an annual donation of $50,000.
“Little Words Project was built on the premise that one kind word can make an impact. KIND passionately shares this vision, which is why we’re proud to partner with them this World Kindness Day to further our mission of paying kindness forward, through community, connection, and of course, bracelets,” said Adriana Carrig, CEO & Founder of Little Words Project. To continue the celebration, fans will also be able to shop for the LIVE KIND bracelet at Little Words Project stores across the country, and the first 100 fans to visit the Little Words Project flagship store on Bleecker St. in New York City from 4-7 pm ET on World Kindness Day, November 13th, will be gifted complimentary LIVE KIND bracelets.
KIND Team Members across the country also took part in World Kindness Day by volunteering with nonprofits that help nourish minds, bodies and communities. This year, over 160 KIND Team Members volunteered with the following organizations:
- Ellen Meadows Prosthetic Hand Foundation, an organization that builds prosthetic hands for amputees in developing countries.
- Heifer International, an organization on a mission to end hunger and poverty in a sustainable way by supporting and investing alongside local farmers and their communities.
- Ronald McDonald House Charities, which provides temporary housing to families from around the world as their sick child receives care in partnering hospitals.
- 7 Cups, an on-demand emotional health service and online therapy provider.
- Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef, a conservation organization whose mission is to drive people-powered reef conservation that can be scaled up to meet the escalating threats facing coral reefs around the world.
- Minority Veterans of America, a space where minority veterans gather to connect and fight for justice for our collective communities.
- Project Linus, an organization that provides a sense of security and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new handmade blankets.
- Lower East Side Girls Club, which connects young women and gender-expansive youth of color throughout New York City to healthy and successful futures through free, innovative year-round programming and mentoring.
Following World Kindness Day, to continue the ripple effect of nourishing acts of kindness, KIND will be launching its inaugural Beyond KIND Impact Trip. This new, purpose-driven initiative is an opportunity for a group of KIND Team Members to step away from the comfort of their homes and daily routines to spend time giving back to communities in need. To kickstart the program, the inaugural trip will be held in partnership with Feeding America. KIND Team Members will spend two days volunteering with the Central Texas Food Bank, a Feeding America partner food bank, in its warehouse, garden and mobile pantry serving rural communities throughout Central Texas.
