How It All Began

We know that all it takes is one kind gesture to send a ripple through a community and transform lives, and that’s why we are so excited to announce the creation of Kind Works Incorporated, an organization focused on showering people with positivity, empathy, inclusion and respect. We are a nonprofit organization continuing the impactful work that Ben’s Bells CT volunteers have done for nearly 12 years.

We have an amazing group of volunteers whose commitment stands as one of the most powerful and inspiring testaments to the importance of kindness. Kind Works connects people and teaches kindness in a way that many have not experienced.

Kind Works will run programs out of Ben’s Bells CT’s former studio space in Bethel, with the same staff and volunteers bringing more than a decade of experience and shared passion for spreading kindness across the Northeast.
