Get Inspired: Your Stories of Kindness

Nominate your community and then enjoy some stories of Kindness from across Canada!

I started a "Soup Sunday" in my community, cooking a big pot of soup each week to share with anyone in need. Neighbours joined in, bringing bread or desserts. It became more than just a meal—it was a time for people to connect, share stories, and support each other. A small act of kindness brought warmth to our whole neighbourhood.

After seeing how lonely some seniors in our neighbourhood were, my mom started hosting monthly game nights at the local community center. It gave them a chance to socialize and feel included. Soon, younger neighbours joined in too, creating bonds across generations. What began as a simple event blossomed into a regular gathering of laughter and connection.

Our local grocery store owner organized a "Kindness Box" in store, where people could leave non-perishable items for those in need. The response was overwhelming—shoppers began filling it with food, toiletries, and kind notes. It became a simple, ongoing way for our community to take care of each other.
