About Us
Mission Statement
Acts of Kindness CT is committed to inspiring the betterment of our community through compassion in action, and outcomes. With small, intentional acts of kindness we create change and connection where they are needed most. Everyone has the power to make a difference and that is what we are doing..
We are committed to vulnerable individuals and families facing hardship and illness, as well as those who care for and support them.
From food insecurity to homelessness, Acts of Kindness mobilizes resources by engaging local businesses, educational institutions and medical facilities as we deliver impactful goods, services and care.
Through collective effort, storytelling, and purposeful engagement, everyone is capable of generosity, giving back, and sharing their stories. Together, we are creating a more compassionate, inclusive, and hopeful society.
My name is Mason Teitler and I began Acts of Kindness CT at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Alongside my sister during social distancing, we regularly baked to support frontline workers at local hospitals. What started as a personal effort to show gratitude quickly grew as we delivered meals to doctors, nurses, janitorial staff, and other essential workers during a time of isolation and need. The experience revealed the power of small acts and inspired a larger mission of service to my community.
As the initiative expanded, I partnered with local and national businesses to rescue surplus food and deliver it to hospitals, homeless shelters, and underserved communities throughout Connecticut. Today, I continue to lead and grow the organization—building partnerships, mobilizing volunteers, and ensuring that every meal and baked good reach those who need it most with care, dignity, and intention.
My goal now is to inspire others to do the same and tell their story.
