Move resources closer
We bring useful goods into libraries, neighborhoods, schools and partner locations people already know.
Community Barrier Reduction Model™
Closer resources.
Fewer barriers.
Be Kind Birmingham brings quality essentials, practical support and trusted community connections closer to where people already live, learn, work and gather.

Need assistance?
The quickest way to get what you need.
Come to one of our public library pop-ups and choose from the donated clothing, shoes, toiletries and essentials available that day. Because we operate primarily through donations, selection changes from one pop-up to the next. No request form or appointment is needed, and all items are available while supplies last.
