Intelligent Kindness Last week the Intelligent Kindness team traveled to Detroit and Grand Rapids with John’s concert tour. In Detroit, they met Iris, a church volunteer and single mom of 5 children. Iris was struggling to feed and take care of her family, so the IK crew treated her to a shopping spree at the local grocery store. During he...r spree, she was very careful to pick out items that would feed her family for a while. In Grand Rapids, the "Stop The Spread of Disease" campaign continued.... Uncle Vinny and Kathy went downtown and handed out more than 100 personal bottles of hand sanitizer along with snacks for everyone. Thanks to Uncle Vinny and Kathy for once again showing us how to make a difference in the lives of struggling and homeless folks around the country. - TeamIK

Intelligent Kindness Being sick and homeless could kill you. This winter, the Intelligent Kindness crew is focusing on the overwhelming need of the medically underserved homeless community and launching the “Curb The Spread Of Disease” campaign. Uncle Vinny and Kathy and the rest of the IK team are visiting homeless camps and shelters to ...hand out personal hand sanitizer to help prevent the spread of illness and distribute the comforts of home to minister to the sick. They’re giving out food, sleeping bags, socks, hygiene products, propane tanks for cooking and plenty of water. So far, they’ve been to more than 15 sites. All winter, the Intelligent Kindness team will continue to make the rounds visiting the homeless to give them supplies and support for illness prevention. - Team IK

Intelligent Kindness With the cold upon us this week, the Intelligent Kindness team was off to buy winter jackets for the homeless. They stopped by the shelters to find out the sizes of the children living there only to discover jackets weren’t needed! Plenty of outerwear donations had come in and everyone already had jackets! While there,... the shelter workers asked the IK team for hygiene products, so our crew delivered a van full of the items. The women were glad to get much-need diapers for there little ones, and everyone was grabbing up the shampoo and soap, ready for a nice hot shower! - Team IK

A big ‘thanks’ to this responder crew and first responders everywhere for your hard work and dedication- you’re our heroes! - Team IK
