TACKY BOX

Tacky Box: Making the World a Kinder Place One Child at a Time

Tacky Box is the only award-winning Social Emotional Learning tool that teaches children to choose kindness over tacky language and behavior. At the request of school counselors and principals, we fund Tacky Box in underprivileged elementary schools, creating kinder cultures one school at a time. To date, we’ve provided Tacky Boxes to over 30,000 elementary students.

Our effort generated a 63% reduction in disciplinary actions.

To date, we’ve reunited one family and are awaiting the Parole Board’s vote for our second case.

East Dallas Rocks

We host community rock painting events and encourage participants to spread messages of kindness, hope, and love on rocks they place around their neighborhoods. Our goal is simply to spark a little unexpected joy in those who find a rock — and a desire to pay it forward.

We work directly with individuals and provide funding to Miles of Freedom, which serves over 1,000 neighbors who’ve made it home.

Hot Soup Sunday

Hot Soup Sunday is a movement to encourage neighbors with resources to serve homecooked meals to those who need one. It started on a cold, rainy day with a soup stand that served approximately 50 neighbors. That soup stand seeded a vision to invest in a food truck that serves in neighborhoods with large homeless populations, and we plan to make it happen…
