The Mission​   

To build a stronger, more connected community by providing a platform for those who have a need, with members who have the ability to meet a need in, and around the 409 area.

  The Story    

Post a need... Offer help... 
Be the change.

The idea for providing this platform is not original.

It came from the occasional thread on groups that people create for the same purpose of meeting needs.

It became a passion to create a space for service projects that are accessible to anyone, whether you are in need or want to meet a need for someone.

In Matthew 9:35-36 Jesus was going to towns and villages teaching and healing, and verse 36 says, “When He saw the crowds, He had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” This scripture is the heart of Kind in the 409, being moved with compassion for people, and to see lives changed.

   Guidelines   

01

The Pur​pose of Kind in t​he 409

This is a place where we can put scripture into action. Jesus instructed us to give freely what we have received, to ANYONE who asks, to those who could not repay, and even to test Him in our giving. (Luke 6:30, 14:13-14, Matthew 10:8, Malachi 3:10-12)
02

Be Kind and Courteous

We're all in this together to make Southeast Texas a better place to live. Let's treat everyone with respect. There is no room for judgement here, and this group is meant to be a safe place for ALL.
03

Respect Everyone's Privacy

Being part of this group requires mutual trust. What's shared in the group should stay in the group. Do not private message a member unless that member has given permission.

04

What Kind in the 409 is Not

This is not a religious or political group, nor is it a place to pass judgement. Save those discussions to make your family gatherings exciting.
05

Professional Advice Belongs with Professionals

This group is not for medical, legal, or any other advice requiring a professional.
06

Not for Personal Gain

This group is for people helping people, to make Southeast Texas a better place for all of us. Nothing is for sale, and giving should be from a heart of gratitude, not to gain or draw attention.
07

Use Wisdom

This is a private group in an attempt to protect members, but please be wise and vigilant.
08

Help Protect Kind in the 
409 Members

Self-promotion, spam and irrelevant links are not allowed. This is a group for giving and meeting needs without personal gain. Nothing may be sold here.
