How The Kindness Card Program works
In a world that often feels busy and disconnected, an intentional act of kindness can make a world of difference. At The Kindness Card Program, we believe in the power of thoughtful gestures to brighten someone’s day and foster a sense of community.
Our program is designed to spread joy and kindness through heartfelt cards. Whether you want to send a card to someone special, a neighbor, or an acquaintance, our “Angels” are here to help. These dedicated volunteers take the time to create and send personalized cards, bringing smiles and warmth to recipients everywhere.

What Recipients and Angels Say About the Kindness Card Program
“I think this is such a great idea. I’d never heard of this until I received several cards in the mail. Receiving those cards did more for me than words can express. In a world that seems so self-absorbed, being a part of a group that just wants to spread kindness is the best. So many people are hurting and lonely, and you would not know it because they put on a brave front. But who’s strong for the strong one?”
“My father asked me to relay how much he appreciated receiving all the 80th birthday cards and well-wishes. He estimated that he received 50+ cards and is such a testament to how this program truly touches people – for support and for celebrations. Thank you again to everyone who sent him a card, you truly made his day!”
“Thank you everyone for your kind cards and birthday wishes, it has meant so much to Junior and his smile means so much to us. Sending love and hugs.”
“When my daughter broke her arm, somebody submitted her name to the Kindness Card Program. Seeing her face light up reading all the cards and well wishes from her Angels made my heart so happy. That is why I would like to become an Angel. I would like to make others feel how my daughter and I felt.”

The Inspiration Behind The Kindness Card program
Between May – December 2022 my 88-year-old mother, Patricia Ault, suffered a serious blood infection and stroke. During that time, she was in the hospital and a rehab facility. In order to keep her spirits up, I asked my friends and acquaintances to send her a card. The cards came pouring in. Over that period, she received more than 300 cards!
It made all the difference in her mental health during this difficult period. Today she is living independently in her apartment, and thanks God every day for all the “Angels” who kept her in their thoughts and prayers as she recovered.
