Idaho Kind is a movement where good intentions and action collide, a time when one act of kindness can have a ripple effect.

Launching on March 1st and running through the end of the month, The Idaho Foodbank and its partners across the state encourage the community to share kindness. Kindness is choosing to do something that helps  others, motivated by genuine warm feelings.  Researchers have found that people who are kind or regularly engage in acts of kindness tend to have higher well-being.

The goal of this campaign is to raise the food and funds for 2 million meals in March and to show 1,000 acts of kindness. We encourage individuals to engage in their communities by giving monetarily and/or making an act of kindness such as volunteering or publicly supporting hunger relief and thus their neighbors. We invite corporations to participate by joining our Idaho Kind Corporate Challenge.

Acts of kindness are not limited to The Foodbank, we want kindness to be felt everywhere and know that every act is contagious.

We hope that every Idahoan will join the #IdahoKind Challenge by completing and sharing acts of kindness on social media with #IdahoKind to inspire others.
