In 2012, I started Sparks of Kindness as a small way to inspire others to spread love and shine their light in a world that often feels dark. From the beginning, the response was overwhelming. It became clear that so many people want a kinder, more loving world—they just don’t know where to begin. That’s where Sparks of Kindness comes in, offering a simple yet powerful way to make a difference.A spark is a simple planned, deliberate act of kindness such as leaving quarters on a vending machine, encouraging notes at the grocery store or bubbles at the playground.

The movement quickly grew, reaching people globally while also igniting a passion for local action in my own community. This inspired the creation of a local Sparks group in Georgia, where we’ve worked together on hands-on initiatives that bring hope to those in need.

Sparks of Kindness

 - Collecting essentials for those experiencing homelessness each year, delivering bags filled with warmth and hope.
 - Visiting nursing homes to bring joy and connection to residents who might otherwise feel forgotten.
 - Supporting families in crisis, including collecting donations for those whose homes have been destroyed by fire.

These efforts remind us that kindness is not only about individual acts but also about coming together as a community to make an even bigger impact.

Spread Love, Shine Your Light, and Change the World

Through deliberate acts of kindness, our local group does hands-on sparks such as:

Be the Spark. Change the world, your own backyard...or both.
