Be Kind Utah Campaign
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 Stories
Unexpected kindness is the most powerful, least costly, and most underrated agent of human change.
– Bob Kerrey
“My friend and I saw a homeless lady who was in need of food and diapers for her 4 children so we went and bought her supplies.”
“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.”
“An older lady yelled at a young man because his dog pooped in her yard. He apologized and quickly cleaned it up. The next day, the young man was mowing the older lady’s yard. Such an inspiration of kindness from the young man.”
“My parents bought me coffee and lunch because they knew I was having a hard day.”
“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.”
