Ben’s Bells Celebration of Kindness event in Tucson, Arizona, bringing the community together to support kindness, volunteerism, and nonprofit impact through art, connection, and compassion.

Saturday, February 7, 2026 • 10:00am – 1:00pm

We’re moving to a new location in Main Gate Square — just next door.

Our first home holds so many memories of creativity, connection, and kindness practiced with intention. It’s where our community came together time and again to paint, learn, and create something meaningful, helping shape the foundation of Ben’s Bells through shared effort and care.

Now, we’re continuing that work alongside our longtime partners at ACT and Kind Stitches in their space at Main Gate Square. This move brings us together under one roof, strengthening collaboration, learning, and belonging — creating even more opportunities to practice kindness in action.

Join us for a community open house and celebration featuring hands-on art activities in the courtyard, live Kind Stitches embroidery, photo opportunities at the iconic Main Gate mural, temporary kindness tattoos, sidewalk chalk messages, and special Shop Kind offerings and giveaways. Come create, connect, and celebrate the journey with us.

Thank you for being part of this story — then, now, and always.

Our NEW Home with partners Kind Stitches

Kind Stitches is a long-standing partnership between Ben’s Bells and Tucson Unified School District’s Advanced Community Training (ACT) Program. Through this collaboration, young adult students with disabilities gain hands-on vocational experience while sharing the “be kind” message with the community.

Students engage in real-world retail and production work, from customer service and order processing to on-site embroidery of Ben’s Bells merchandise and custom items. As we move into the ACT and Kind Stitches space at Main Gate Square, our work becomes even more connected—strengthening learning, collaboration, and belonging.

ACT students and staff have been part of Ben’s Bells since 2008. Together, we continue to create opportunities that support skill-building, inclusion, and kindness in action.
