Sometimes, kindness shows up in surprising ways. These brief videos show us a few different ways that people find to bring more love into their lives and the lives of others.

In times of crisis, many people step up to help those in need. One example is Chef José Andrés and volunteers of World Central Kitchen, who are at the Ukrainian border providing meals for thousands of refugees.

Often, kindness for one person brings a whole community together. Enjoy the way neighbors honored their retiring mailman.
