About Us
The Village - Be Kind is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to empowering people to practice kindness in their everyday life by leveraging everyone's small contribution to make a huge impact. Our mission is to unite our community to help our neighbors in need.
We were born from the belief that if we all do a little, together we can do a lot!
OUR FOUNDER
The Village Chief
When Diann Dickenson was a single mother short on cash, she vowed that if God took care of her, she would take care of others and she has kept her word. The Village - Be Kind started as a Facebook group made up of old high school friends and grew to include acquaintances and strangers who came across her good deeds on the web.
She rallies friends and family for donations to various organizations quarterly, but if the need is greater, sometimes monthly. “I see the amount of people that love caring for and helping others. I've seen so many people change, and they get addicted to helping. It’s a chain reaction,” she said. “I hope more people will come and help us and realize that helping doesn’t always involve money.
