WHO WE ARE: Inspiring intentional acts of kindness
Good in the ‘Hood is an urban-based, partnering organization committed to initiating and sustaining focused acts of kindness as a means of inspiring neighborhood decency and personal transformation. We believe that goodness and kindness are change-agent qualities and it is our belief that communities are safer and much better when a focused and contagious momentum of kindness is made manifest.
