SERVING HAMPTON ROADS IN SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA
ABOUT US
Edges of Kindness gathers the generosity of our community and carries it through trustworthy pathways from abundance to need– ensuring every resource is shared with dignity and care.
Edges of Kindness began with a simple observation: in our community, there is abundance sitting at the edges — the extra, the unused, the overstock, the things people are willing to share when they know it will truly matter. But abundance doesn’t move on its own. It needs clear, trustworthy pathways to reach the families who could be strengthened by it.
What started as a small effort to connect generosity with real need quickly revealed something bigger: people want to give, and families deserve to receive in ways that protect dignity, honor their stories, and make the process feel human.
Edges of Kindness was created to build those pathways — thoughtful, reliable systems that carry resources from where they are to where they’re needed most. Today, we stand at the intersection of generosity and care, helping our community share what it has so everyone can experience strength, belonging, and support.
Our Model
Edges of Kindness transforms local abundance into purposefully shared support.
Gather Generosity
Edges of Kindness partners with retailers who want their excess goods to support real families and strengthen sustainability goals.
By redirecting high‑quality items away from storage or waste, we keep resources local, reduce unnecessary transportation, and turn potential waste into meaningful community impact.
Carry from Abundance to Need
Edges of Kindness sorts and prepares donated goods to be offered through our clear online request-and-pickup system.
Partner organizations access what they need through our online platform, ensuring items move efficiently, with dignity, and at no cost to the families they serve.
Share with Dignity and Care
Edges of Kindness works with community organizations to move high‑quality goods directly to families who need them.
With clear, trustworthy pathways, we close resource gaps quickly and support nonprofits so they can focus on serving individuals and families with dignity and care.
