About The Kindness Card Project

The Kindness Card Project began with a $1,000 grant from Laurier Launchpad Community Changemaker program. It was designed to help people combat isolation and loneliness through the simple yet powerful act of sending and receiving handwritten cards. The positive response to our project and events has been overwhelming, with participants expressing joy and fulfillment from both receiving and creating Kindness Cards. Our experience demonstrates our commitment and ability to deliver impactful and inclusive community projects that promote kindness, creativity, and cultural engagement. To date, The Kindness Card Project has distributed over 700 cards and counting.
