Volunteering with Small Acts Big Change has been such a meaningful part of my life. I’ve had the privilege of crocheting scarves from home for women undergoing cancer treatment, and it’s deeply touching to know these small acts of kindness can offer warmth and comfort during such a difficult time. The organization makes it easy to get involved and always reminds us that every bit of love we share truly matters. I’m honored to be a part of this beautiful mission.

As the Executive Director of Small Acts Big Change, it has been my utter pleasure and privilege to serve alongside the most dedicated, compassionate, and inspiring group of volunteers and helpers over the years. What began as a small idea rooted in kindness has grown into a powerful movement of service, compassion, and impact.

Our team may be made up of everyday people—students, retirees, families, and professionals—but together, we’ve created something extraordinary. From helping children in foster care and seniors in nursing homes, to supporting animal rescues and creating community-building projects, every act of service we take on is infused with heart, intention, and purpose.

The impact of Small Acts Big Change is significant—not just in numbers, but in the lives we touch and the hope we help restore. I am constantly inspired by the generosity of our volunteers and supporters, and I am proud of the culture of kindness we’ve built together.

Serving with this organization has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I’m deeply grateful for everyone who has been a part of this journey—and I can’t wait to see what more we can do together.

I have been a volunteer for Small Acts Big Change (SABC) for several years and can only say wonderful things about them! They have done so much good for others and they also teach and model that anyone can participate in charitable acts and the smallest thing can make a huge difference to someone in need. I’m a teacher and SABC has given my students great opportunities to learn about giving and making a positive impact that I think they will continue to carry forward as they get older.

Kindness Market works with Small Acts Big Change to offer shop-for-a-cause options to help change the world. Together, we are impacting people, animals, and the environment with do-good opportunities that SABC then implements out in the world. Through our partnership, we are planting trees, feeding people living on the streets, supporting pets waiting for their forever families and more. It's a great partnership!

I have always had a good experience working with this nonprofit. I originally reached out to them about an injured kitten. The people running "SABC" are quick to respond and knew exactly what to do in that situation. I am grateful to have them as a resource.

I am not exaggerating when I say that this nonprofit changed my life for the better. Like so many, I felt pretty discouraged over quarantine. This charity offered me ways to make a difference from my house and gave me a positive outlook. I strongly recommend this charity's Facebook page, website, or even blog.

I recently found Small Acts Big Change through their Facebook. I love how they are encouraging the next generation to make positive change. My daughter needed community service hours for school but it quickly turned into something she is passionate about. I am so amazed by what this group is doing and am proud to be a volunteer.

I have been interacting with this charity for the past few years, and I am continually impressed with their focus, efforts and accomplishments each and every day. They truly exemplify the 'small acts big change' motto every day and they do small things that continue to add up to large changes in our world. They walk the talk so to speak and they interact with so many areas that their impact is widespread and truly making a difference. I love the fact they are so diverse - they focus on saving animals, engaging with senior citizens, helping clean up the environment and the oceans -- too many things to mention, but all so very important. I am happy to follow and support such an amazing group of people!

I am involved in SABC's projects that allow volunteers to get involved from home. I live in a remote area, so it is difficult for me to get involved in in-person volunteer events like races because they are typically held in big cities. SABC offers many projects that allows me to volunteer from home such as their Angel Project and Valentine's for Seniors. So happy to have found them!

I have followed and participated in this nonprofit for several years and I am especially pleased with their focus on getting children involved in helping others. I am a retired teacher and I have always supported educating our young people in the value of contributing. Small acts by individuals definately lead to big changes in our world. This nonprofit does an excellent job of bringing our communities together to do good. Their many creative and varied projects are motivating. They encourage the personal rewards attainable through giving back.

I found this lovey family when my son was 3. I wanted a way to have him help out in the world. He has delivered cards to rest homes on valentines and supported a fire station. I’ve made baby pjs’s for their suitcases for foster kids and been motivated to pick up trash while out and about in the world. For 5 years I have seen them do amazing things for their wider community and have felt included all the way. We have moved further away from them but still try to help out as we can. Thanks for creating a wonderful group to support and follow.

This organization does a wonderful job in bringing smiles to those it touches. By taking time to complete a small gesture they bring a big smile to people. It's a precious gift. They don't need to spend a lot of money to share the kindness message. Leaving gifts for people to find or passing out flowers to those walking down the street bring large amounts of good will. In this time of great strife within our country this organization shows how kindness can bring us closer rather than focusing on our differences.

This organisation is a huge inspiration to me. I'm doing similar work in England and have been following their journey. They have been a guiding light on the journey to do good in the world. The story of how they started is humbling and engaging. They are making a difference around the globe encouraging people to get involved in their communities and do whatever they can to help.
