Located in the heart of Beachwood, The Kindness Center is a vibrant hub where compassion meets community. Our state-of-the-art 9,200 sq. ft. facility is dedicated to fostering growth, support, and inclusivity. Our programs are not only about individual support but also about bringing people together. The Kindness Center is a place where meaningful connections are made, and lives are positively transformed.
