Sharing a kindness meme costs nothing, but it can bring a wealth of joy to its recipient

Sometimes it’s the little things—like kindness memes

Kindness is kind of like cookies—it’s always appreciated, and it’s super sweet when you receive it! Now more than ever, our world needs kindness in whatever form you can give. Whether you can afford to take out your wallet for people in need or send a sweet note to a friend who’s having a bad day, there is no act too big or too small. Some may feel inspired to commit a random act of kindness, but if you’re like us, you like to spread cheer via humor, and nothing works better than a kindness meme.

These kindness memes are both hilarious and adorable, but even more important, they inspire us to be the change we want to see in the world. Include them in a text to a loved one or share them loud and proud on social media. They’re bound to put a smile on someone’s face!
