Notes from Kindness City

Notes from Kindness City

Soft words for hard times.

We handwrite and drop kindness cards around town - tucked into library books, left in coffee shops, taped to bathroom mirrors, just little surprise reminders that you matter, you’re loved, and you’re not alone. These notes are free, anonymous, and meant to ripple outward, sparking warmth in unexpected moments.

Kindness City is my dandelion wish to the world- part art project, part social justice fairy tale, and all about showing up for one another in creative, tangible ways… It’s about meeting people where they are, seeing them, and saying ‘You’re not alone”.”

-Lindsey Peterson, community advocate & founder of Kindness City

Kindness Kits

We collect reusable water bottles, travel cups, thermoses, and backpacks, then fill them with care items: space blankets, mini first aid kits, socks, snacks, and more. In the summer, we offer cold water; in the winter, hot coffee. It’s about meeting immediate needs while making sure people know they are seen and valued.
