About Us

Below is a bit of info on our philosophy and our team.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to inspire and spread community service because we believe that a little goodness goes a very long way. It’s amazing what a simple box can do when you add a touch of heart and creativity. See what good can do!

What We Do

We make it easy for people to give back and earn community service hours through hand-made and hand-delivered goody bags that provide a face-to-face thanks to the unsung heroes in their community.

How We Do It

Our efficient step-by-step kits shortcut community service logistics by motivating users to choose their own recipients, build their own creation, and work on their own time to directly affect their community.

Why We Do It

We believe that up-close-and-personal giving motivates more kindness, building community volunteers for life.
