For the second year in a row, we are proud to feature Natalie Grunwald as our holiday card artist. Natalie, a student at Sheboygan Falls High School, created this beautiful original piece titled “Kindness Starts Here.” The hand-painted heart captures the essence of our mission; reminding us that kindness begins within and radiates outward, fostering hope, connection, and healing throughout our community.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will receive a printed card suitable for framing, along with a Kindness Starts Here magnet featuring a QR code that links to our curated Kindness Playlist of songs and podcasts.
