Kindness Links

Christopher Tuttle The Route 66 Chaplain Faith and Good Courage Kindness Links resources page

Kindness Links is a growing collection of resources that prove kindness is not weakness. It’s not fluff. It’s not a vague idea for better days. Real kindness shows up in meals shared, doors held, burdens carried, lonely people noticed, hungry people fed, and hurting people remembered. That’s where faith stops sounding impressive and starts looking like something real.

This page was created as a growing collection of kindness resources, Matthew 25 inspired ministries, service organizations, and practical tools for people who want to live their faith in everyday ways. Some of these groups focus on simple daily kindness. Others work in disaster relief, poverty care, education, refugee support, or community service. All of them reflect, in one way or another, the kind of compassion that refuses to stay seated.

If you’ve ever believed there has to be more to faith than words alone, this page is for you. If you’ve ever wanted a place to begin, this page is for you. If you’re looking for organizations that help people feed the hungry, care for the vulnerable, practice generosity, and make kindness visible in daily life, start here and keep going.

At Faith and Good Courage, we believe the most powerful faith is often quiet. It does not always stand on a stage. Sometimes it shows up in a food pantry, a school hallway, a shelter, a volunteer shift, a handwritten note, or a simple act of mercy no one else ever sees. These Kindness Links are here to help connect good hearts with real action. I share a few in Matthew 25 Lives.

Kindness Links to Matthew 25 Inspired Ministries and Faith in Action

For many Christians, the call to kindness is not just a good idea. It is rooted in the words of Jesus. Matthew 25 reminds us that feeding the hungry, welcoming the stranger, clothing the vulnerable, visiting the sick, and caring for the forgotten are not side missions. They are central to the work of faith. The organizations below reflect that spirit in different ways.

  • Matthew 25: Ministries
    An international humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization serving people in poverty and communities affected by crisis through practical, material support.
  • PC(USA) Matthew 25
    A churchwide movement rooted in Matthew 25:31-46, calling congregations and leaders toward compassionate discipleship, poverty response, and justice-focused service.
  • PC(USA) Matthew 25 Resources
    A resource library with worship materials, study tools, videos, and teaching content connected to Matthew 25 living.
  • Anglican Justice & Mercy
    A network supporting justice, mercy, and reconciliation efforts among people serving vulnerable and under-resourced communities.

Serving the Vulnerable in Real and Tangible Ways

How to Use This Page

You don’t need to join every movement, donate to every organization, or turn compassion into a branding exercise. Start smaller than that. Pick one idea. Read one page. Support one local cause. Practice one act of kindness you can actually follow through on today. Sometimes the most important link in a chain of mercy is simply the one you decide not to ignore.

This page will continue to grow over time as we find more organizations, better tools, and stronger examples of everyday compassion in action. If a resource helps people live with more courage, more mercy, and more attention to the needs of others, it belongs in the conversation.

Faith does not become real when it is talked about the loudest. It becomes real when love becomes visible.
