Are you ready for after school snack requests? I always make sure I have healthy snacks on hand for my kiddos after school. No junk food in our home!

I was pleased to learn about this next sponsor of the Back to School Bonanza, a maker of all natural whole nut and fruit bars. Yum!

KIND Healthy Snacks

At KIND we craft delicious, healthful foods from wholesome all-natural ingredients you can see and pronounce.® We believe that food should never be processed to the point that you can no longer tell what it is! That’s why we use whole nuts and fruit, and bind them together with honey through a natural process that keeps them fresh, brings out their flavor, and achieves just the right amount of crunch.

Since I love working with brands who give back, I am honored to spread the word about The Great Kindess Challenge coming up next week. KIND is a proud sponsor of the one day event on August 14th; a day where kids around the world participate in acts of kindness, using a checklist of 50 suggestions. Participation is easy, free and fun!  Just visit the website (http://www.greatkindnesschallenge.org) to download the FREE checklist.

There are things you can do wherever you are that day, in whatever time you have, by yourself or with others. They are aiming for 1 million youth participants this year.  Let’s rock the world with kindness on August 14!

This is a great opportunity to be an example to your children, so encourage them to get involved.

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:12

To help celebrate The Great Kindness Challenge, KIND Snacks is generously offering $100 worth of delicious snack bars to one KingdomFirstMom.com reader! Just in time for those hungry kids after school.

    I know this isn’t much, but I like to leave coupons for people at the grocery store. I also like to let people go ahead of me in line.

  25. Molly says

    We’d like to make a lightboard toy. Our son is autistic and loves light switches, so my husband is working on a lap board with different switches and lights to turn on so we can “play” together (instead of it being isolatory). If it works, we want to make one for the local autism center, his preschool, and the other major preschool that helps ASD kids in the area. They looove light switches LOL.

  502. christi G. says

    I think kindness should be done everyday. We (my kids and I) are always helping people at stores to return carts, smile and say hi. We like to help neighbors and bring up their recycle bins from the street after the trash truck comes through. The power of a smile and kind word are great.

  514. Lavetta says

    I always buy extra school supplies when they go on sale so I can give them to those children who can’t afford school supplies. I like to buy enough for the children and to give to the teachers as well for the children in their classroom who don’t have school supplies. I just always think of those children because it must make them feel badly that they don’t have school supplies like everyone else.

  515. Lea Harris says

    We made zucchini bread for our elderly neighbors down the road and will deliver it this afternoon 🙂

  523. Marci girl says

    I will give clothing that my son no longer fits to the free clothing church program down the street.
