With deference to “The Heart of it All,” Ohio can become The Kindness State. We proclaim this, knowing that Ohio has exceeded all other states in signups — representing about 400,000 Ohioans who have committed to performing 250 acts of kindness in 2026, honoring our nation’s 250th anniversary. What started as a dream of Values-in-Action Foundation’s Kindland movement one year ago is a reality.
