Kindness Points & Monthly Impact Recognition
Your Engagement Can Create an Even Greater Impact
Every action within Your Kindness Corner helps strengthen the community. By participating, connecting, sharing, and supporting others, members earn Kindness Points and can be recognized each month. When a member wins, a nonprofit they care about wins too.
