“What a great place. It’s all about kindness. They encourage you to come in and help them paint pieces that will be used to make bells which will be given away for free. Great for all ages to come and spend some time. The non-profit all started from the sudden death of their son, Ben. The family was shown support and kindness from the community and they want to honor their son and others by spreading kindness as well.” -HS
Ben’s Bells teaches individuals and communities about the positive impacts of intentional kindness and inspires people to practice kindness as a way of life. Ben’s Bells programs are based on the belief that everyone has the capacity to be kind and that kindness can be cultivated through education, visual reminders, and ongoing practice. By recognizing, valuing, and practicing intentional kindness, we can change the world. To learn more about Ben’s Bells kindness education and programs visit BensBells.org
