What is a kind image?
Great question! Here is a bit of inspiration to help you capture these impactful moments.
KIND PEOPLE
We see kindness in people everyday – in people we know and those we haven’t met yet. People lending a hand, helping others, sharing a meal, a smile and paying it forward.
KINDNESS IN NATURE
There is kindness in animals, in the heart shape leaf, hikers lending a hand, giving shelter from the natural elements and more. When we take the time, we can see kindness all around.
KINDNESS IN THE COMMUNITY
Our communities are filled with kindness! At work, in churches, non-profits, fundraising efforts, in our public spaces and shops. Showcase the kindness that ties us all together.
