Our Mission

To build and inspire a community movement by instilling awareness of the positive effects that living in a kind and respectful environment have on us as individuals and as a society.

Respect and Be Kind

During a stay at my home in 2018, three of my grandsons and I had conversations about the problems facing our world and how we as individuals can make a difference. Out of our conversations came a motto that has since become the purpose of respectandbekind.

RABK was built on an unquestionable belief that respect and kindness are the foundation of genuine human interaction. By engaging and educating individuals, organizations, businesses and our community in this belief, it is our intention to be a unifying force for good.
