Project Guides

Here you’ll find individual and group-friendly resources to help you host a service project that brings empathy to your community.

These guides were developed with our American Empathy Project campaign in mind, but are relevant to any organizer – at any time – who’s trying to make a difference.

Food Over Cruelty

Pack easy, shelf-stable meal kits for a local food pantry, making comforting food available in a stress-free format!

Conservation Over Cruelty

Clean up litter in areas where it’ll be most disruptive to human and non-human wellbeing. Reuse or recycle what you can!

Affirmation Over Cruelty

Host a gender-affirming clothing and supply drive informed by your community’s specific needs.

Care Over Cruelty

Coordinate a medical debt jubilee – write letters to Congress and local legislators asking them to retire medical debt.

Welcoming Over Cruelty

Gather everyday supplies based around your community’s needs, and deliver them to families impacted by ICE activity.

Respect Over Cruelty

Lead a “joy drive” for a local senior center – put together a fun, collaborative activity and enjoy it with your local elders!
