A Local Nonprofit Making a Big Impact

If you’ve been around Woburn or nearby towns like Winchester, Lexington, Burlington, Reading, and Wakefield, you’ve probably noticed how neighbors step up for one another.

Based right here in Middlesex County, this nonprofit is dedicated to delivering joy, comfort, and encouragement to kids facing difficult times. Their mission is simple: spread kindness in small, meaningful ways that ripple throughout the community. Learn more at connorskindnessproject.org.

What Makes Connor’s Kindness Project Unique

The Power of Kindness Kits

At the heart of their work are Kindness Kits — thoughtfully packed boxes filled with comfort items, activities, and essentials for children experiencing hardship. Whether delivered to a family in Woburn, a hospital in Winchester, or a shelter in Burlington, these kits are reminders that every child matters. They’re not just gifts; they’re lifelines of hope.

Inspiring Local Kids to Lead with Kindness

Through their Be Kind Challenge for Schools, Connor’s Kindness Project empowers students in places like Reading and Wakefield to take part in service projects that promote empathy and inclusion. It’s hands-on, memorable, and helps shape the next generation of compassionate leaders across Middlesex County.

How You Can Get Involved Locally

The beauty of Connor’s Kindness Project is that it’s accessible to everyone — whether you live in downtown Woburn or a quiet street in Reading.

  • Volunteer Your Time: Help pack kits or assist with school programs.

  • Donate Locally: Every contribution goes toward building and delivering more kits to kids across Middlesex County.

  • Corporate Sponsorships: the Woburn Chamber of Commerce and businesses in Burlington, Wakefield, and Lexington have already partnered with the nonprofit — a great way to give back while connecting with the community.

  • Host a Collection Drive: Churches, schools, and small businesses around Winchester and Reading have successfully gathered kit contents, proving that even small groups can make a big impact.

Details on volunteering, donating, and hosting drives can be found at connorskindnessproject.org.
