Friends, please help us show some love to this amazing small business that supports Love, KK so generously!

This weekend we teamed up with @kind__mom for our Acts of Kindness program!

We shopped small with @far_bungalow_farm for the most beautiful locally grown bouquets, then donated them to Kind Mom’s Sunny Gram initiative — handwritten notes of encouragement paired with flowers for mothers in housing programs, new moms at local hospitals, nurses, and women needing extra support during Mother’s Day.

What made this partnership so special was knowing these gifts were hand-delivered by people deeply connected to our local community. Kind Mom does incredible work supporting maternal and childhood mental health through workshops, consulting, mindfulness events like free family yoga classes and other postpartum supports.

Together, we were able to:
✨ support a local farm
✨ invest back into our community
✨ brighten the day of moms who truly needed it most

We’re beyond grateful to have partnered with Kind Mom on their Sunny Grams program, and so thankful for the donors, volunteers, and community supporters who make acts of kindness like this possible.

Support small. Grow your community. 🌻💛✌️

UPDATE: due to rain, we are changing the date! Course clearing day is now on Sunday, May 24th at 11AM.

We could really use your help getting the 5KK race course ready! 💛🌻

We’ll be spending a few hours raking a section of the course to get it race-day ready. Bring gloves, water, and a rake (we’ll have a few extras if needed).

Interested? Email shannon@lovekk.org or send us a message here, and we’ll share all the details ✨

We also have additional volunteer roles leading up to the race and on race day—perfect for a team or group!

Today, Love, KK is spreading Acts of Kindness 💛

These gifts were thoughtfully purchased from local small businesses we love and delivered to people in our community.

Shoutout to our amazing volunteers, Katie and Maureen, for making deliveries 👏

If you’re looking for local businesses to support, here are a few we shopped to fill these gifts, most of which you can find inside @king_street_collective:

@far_bungalow_farm
@black_river_pottery
@cowbellkitchen
@lilacsfromscratch

Give Choose Day Recap 🌻💛

What a day. Because of this incredible community, Love, KK raised $9,191.75 through 80 generous gifts and 3 prize wins. 🎉

🏆 Most Dollars Raised (10–11 AM)
🏆 Most Donors (11–11:59 PM)
🏆 $1,000 Grand Prize for Most Donors Overall

But the best part? Getting to see the mission in action in real time. We welcomed Girl Scouts into Cowbell Kitchen to learn how to make smoothie bowls and hear how Love, KK and Cowbell Kitchen work together, especially through programs like Farm to Food Pantry. It was hands-on, joyful, and exactly what this work is all about.

At Love, KK our mission is to empower local small businesses, farmers, and the people in the community with an entrepreneurial spirit by providing awareness, educational assistance, resources, and learning experiences, and because of you, that mission comes to life.

Thank you for showing up, sharing, and believing in this mission. A special thank you to the @communityfoundationlf and the generous sponsors who make this event possible year after year.

💛Support Small, Grow Your Community!🌻
