One Million Ways in 40 Days
Our Be Kind Utah campaign is designed to increase and build awareness of acts of kindness throughout the state of Utah. The goal is to record 1 million acts of kindness in 40 days during Utah Family Month (Mother’s Day to Father’s Day)!
Our hope is the Be Kind Utah campaign will:
- Increase compassion in Utah communities
- Support Utah’s effort to become a trauma-informed state by bolstering emotional resilience
- Strengthen community bonds by developing empathy, respect, and humanity among community members
- Support community members by providing information about community resources

Kindness Heart:
Helping a Friend in a Simple Way
“My baby ended up in the hospital during the quarantine. My husband couldn’t come in so I was alone and isolated but trying to work. Another mom called and asked what she could do. I said, “I don’t know. All I can do is sit here. I don’t even have chocolate to comfort me.” Not an hour later, the nurse brought in a bag of chocolate from my friend. The note said “You’ve got this.” That chocolate made me feel like that could be true.”
Kindness Returned
“On one of our evening walks we came across an older man struggling to move an oven from his truck to his garage. My husband stopped and offered help. He was so happy for the help that he offered us two beautiful rib-eyes to grill at home.”
