Welcome to The Kindness Campaign!

Hello and welcome to The Kindness Campaign!

I am Kendall Wipff, an eighteen year old Freshman studying Communication at Saint Anselm College. In 2007 I founded The Kindness Campaign: Everyone Can Make a Difference. The Kindness Campaign promotes kindness toward others and kindness toward oneself through volunteerism. TKC aims to increase the number of youth volunteers throughout local communities and the United States with the notion that each and every person has the power to make a difference in their own life by makine a difference in the lives of others.

In 2010 and 2011, I had the opportunity to work further with The Kindness Campaign through my Senior Project. Here's what I did last year!

I started a website for The Kindness Campaign!

I had the privelege of speaking to over five hundred students at five different elementary schools encouraging them to get involved in their communities. I worked with these students and Love Letters, Inc. to make cards for children undergoing treatments in hospitals.


  With some of the third graders at South Elementary School. They loved making Love Letters Cards!

  Shawsheen Elementary School students hard at work.

An example of the time and effort the students put into making cards!


I held a Food Drive for Neighbors in Need and collected over 300 pounds of food.

I made amazing connections with Melissa Horr, Lisa Yang, and many other people in the community.

I had the opportunity to be the keynote speaker at the Quincy Community Service Fair. I also had a booth at the Fair!


I hosted several Singing for Seniors Performances.

I was honored to be one of the recipients of the 2011 Merrimack Valley Parters in Service Scholarship!

Now, The Kindness Campaign is expanding! I have started an Executive Council made up of twelve highly motivated High School and College Students from New Hampshire and Massachusetts. We will be meeting for the first time next week and aready have amazing plans for the Fall!
