Every week when our English class team comes together to teach, it’s inspiring to see our students—whether 10 or 20—show up with such enthusiasm and eagerness to learn. Watching them enjoy the process and grow makes all the hard work worthwhile. We’re especially proud that a few of our students have now secured jobs and are on their way to becoming self-sufficient. Thank you to our incredible volunteers for making this journey possible. Your support is truly changing lives! #KindWorks ... See MoreSee Less
The Khwaja family of six is now happily settled in their new home at the Enclave in Silver Spring! With the support of Bare Necessities Foundation, Inc. and our amazing volunteers from Kindworks, we were able to make this space truly special. From setting up cozy rooms to adding thoughtful touches, every effort brought warmth and comfort to their home. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who pitched in to welcome the Khwaja family—your kindness made a house feel like home! If you’d like to be part of helping newcomers, refugees, and those in need, visit our website to join us in doing kind works. #KindWorks ... See MoreSee Less
On this anxious eve, let's take José Andrés' advice and cook (some soup) and do something good for others. Join us today at 5pm EST to make chickpea soup with lemon and rosemary. Recipe and zoom link here: dokindworks.org/project/make-chickpea-soup-w-lemon-rosemary-to-share-with-others-2/
"So, people, dig a little deeper today. Hug your loved ones a little tighter. Do something nice for a stranger. Cook something that fills your kitchen with amazing smells and makes you feel happy and comfortable, and just try to be in the moment. Take care of each other. Never forget: we’re all about longer tables, people!!" -- José Andrés
(and José Andrés: please feel free to hop on our zoom, today, and/or any Monday from 5-6 pm. We would love to meet you while we cook KindSoup to share with others!! Surprise Us When You Can!! ) ... See MoreSee Less
In Afghanistan, fall and winter are Aush seasons, a time when families gather around a warm bowl of this comforting bean and noodle soup, perfect for lunch or dinner. Last night, we made Aush for Kind Soup with an incredible group of ladies, filling our table with laughter and flavor.

We're so lucky to be working with Saba Safa from Data Dita (www.datadita.com/) who will be analyzing our data to help us not only ask ourselves the right questions, but also focus on the right (data driven) answers!!
Whether our concerns are our volunteers, our impact or our fundraising - a Data Analyst will provide invaluable insights!
Thank you Saba!
Happy to connect you if your company could benefit from the support of a great Data Analyst! ... See MoreSee Less
Stopped by Element Solutions to pick up their retiring laptops (and was surprised and delighted with a couple of brand new desktops) that they gave to us to share with those in need rather than selling them as eWaste!! Love community minded organizations like them! These computers will help people who need a computer for school, for work, to stay connected to family who do not live nearby, and/or to access services and to be active in their communities! THANK YOU Element Solutions!! ... See MoreSee Less
