Partnering With Communities to Meet Local Needs
We partner with families, schools, and local organizations to design service projects that respond to real needs in our communities.
Community Projects
We partner with families, schools, and local organizations to create service projects that address real needs in our communities.
From compassion kit distributions to awareness campaigns, these projects bring people together for meaningful impact.
Host a Compassion Kit Drive
Mobilize your community. Meet real needs. Practice compassion together.
Everyday Kindness invites local organizations, businesses, schools, and faith communities across North Carolina to host Compassion Kit Drives that support individuals and families experiencing housing instability and unmet basic needs.
A kit drive is a simple, structured way to turn collective compassion into practical action.
A Compassion Kit Drive is a coordinated effort to collect essential items that will be assembled into care packages and distributed within local communities.
Each kit includes basic hygiene and care supplies designed to meet immediate needs while honoring dignity.
We provide:
A clear supply list
Suggested quantity targets
Promotional language and graphics
Drop-off coordination guidance
Assembly instructions
You provide:
A willing community
A defined collection window
A designated drop-off location
A commitment to meeting a kit goal
Our Current Community Challenge
We are challenging 10 local organizations and faith communities to sponsor 100 kits each.
Together, this collective effort will allow our Youth Ambassadors to assemble and distribute 1,000 Compassion Kits within our local communities.
This is not about scale for its own sake.
It is about consistent, practical participation.
Why Host a Compassion Kit Drive?
Hosting a drive allows your organization to:
Engage families and youth in meaningful service
Provide a clear, tangible way to respond to local needs
Foster shared responsibility within your community
Model dignity-centered care
Participate in a coordinated, youth-led initiative
A drive can be completed in as little as two to three weeks and adapted to fit your calendar and capacity.
Who Can Host?
Faith communities
Schools and youth groups
Civic organizations
Local businesses and Corporate teams
Community associations
If your group is willing to organize and collect supplies, you can host a drive.
How it Works
