Be Kind Ithaca Merchandise

Spread some kindness! Choose from stickers, keychains, planter hearts, and more! About the Founder and Organization Darrell started Be Kind at the beginning of the pandemic, when he felt we could all benefit from a little kindness. Darrell started with a large Be Kind heart in his front yard. One of his neighbors, a local business owner, loved the simple message and asked if she could get a Be Kind heart. From there the message, and the hearts started to spread, throughout Ithaca and beyond. In a few short years, Darrell has made thousands of hearts, which have been shipped around the world.
