National Kiss of Hope Day

With food insecurity, a rising cost of living, and a growing sense of need in communities all over the nation, National Kiss of Hope Day seeks to encourage individuals, families, and groups to take a little bit of time and make a bit of effort to help those who are struggling.

Get involved with this day by lending a hand to a neighbor, making a donation to a food pantry or finding some other creative way to provide a kiss of hope to someone – on this important day and every day throughout the year!

History of National Kiss of Hope Day

National Kiss of Hope Day was established in 2015 through the efforts of Bill Gobin on behalf of the Kiss of Hope Foundation.

Gobin, a single parent, had the idea to found this day with the purpose of building a community where everyone will be inspired to help each other in a range of different ways.

Committed to enriching the lives of individuals, families and entire communities, the Kiss of Hope Foundation works to help those in need with practical resources such as putting food on the table, paying rent for a roof over their heads and making sure their children are clothed.

National Kiss of Hope Day is just another way to champion the good will and harmony that comes with bringing hope to another human being.
