NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- KIND Snacks, the brand known for its delicious and nutritious snacks, is kicking off a kindness movement by prompting people everywhere to make a KIND choice for themselves and for others this World Kindness Day with the launch of its newest campaign, CHOOSE KIND. With kindness at its core, KIND is boldly embracing and living its purpose.

KIND believes that even the smallest act of kindness can create meaningful change because kindness begins with how we treat ourselves. When we show kindness to ourselves, it creates a mindset to inspire us to bring that same kindness to others and generates a ripple effect of more kind acts. CHOOSE KIND is all about inspiring everyday acts of kindness that create a meaningful, positive impact on the world.

"CHOOSE KIND is more than a campaign – it's a new chapter for KIND," said Osher Hoberman, Chief Marketing Officer of KIND North America. "It's a movement rooted in generosity, compassion, and the belief that kindness starts within – because when we are kind to ourselves, we're better able to care for and be kind to others."

Introducing the CHOOSE KIND Champions
To kick off the CHOOSE KIND movement on World Kindness Day, KIND is introducing the CHOOSE KIND Champions – a group of inspirational creators, athletes and cultural figures who embody kindness in their everyday lives: TV personality Dylan Efron, professional athlete, Justin Herbert and chef and TV host, Kristen Kish. Each CHOOSE KIND Champion will help launch the movement by performing their own acts of kindness, inviting others to do the same and CHOOSE KIND.

• Dylan Efron: Surprised patrons at a senior citizen center to get them moving
• Justin Herbert: Spent the day volunteering at an animal rescue to give senior dogs care and attention to prepare for adoption
• Kristen Kish: Visited a youth center to mentor and provide a nourishing after school snack

"Lately I've been pushing myself to try new things, and it has reminded me how powerful patience and encouragement can be. When someone takes the time to teach you a new skill, that's an act of kindness in itself," said Dylan Efron, TV personality. "Partnering with KIND for the CHOOSE KIND movement has inspired me to pay that forward – whether it's helping someone learn something new or simply cheering them on as they step outside their comfort zone."

"Kindness is something I try to carry with me on and off the field. Whether it's encouraging a teammate, signing an autograph for a young fan, or taking time to give back to the community, those small gestures can make a real difference," said Justin Herbert, professional athlete. "I'm proud to join KIND in the CHOOSE KIND movement to inspire others to look for those everyday opportunities to lift people up and create change."

"Mentoring young chefs and students has always been my way of sharing love and kindness. Guiding aspiring talents and fostering a shared passion is what truly unites and inspires us all," said Kristen Kish, chef and TV host. "Joining the CHOOSE KIND movement feels natural, because kindness is something that should be shared every day. I hope this campaign inspires others to find their own ways to spread warmth and generosity in their communities."

In the spirit of kindness, and to amplify the impact of CHOOSE KIND, KIND is teaming up with each CHOOSE KIND Champion to select organizations close to their hearts to receive a donation from the brand to support these organizations and amplify their positive impact. Each CHOOSE KIND Champion chose a cause that reflects their personal values and commitment to creating a positive change.

• Dylan Efron will be donating to Ocean Conservancy - An organization that unites science, people and policy to protect our ocean, today and for generations to come.
• Justin Herbert is supporting Paws For Life K9 Rescue - An animal rescue to support the organization's mission to give second chances to shelter dogs through rehabilitation, training and adoption programs.
• Kristen Kish has dedicated her donation to Emeril Lagasse Foundation – An organization that seeks to inspire, mentor and enable youth to reach their full potential via culinary, nutrition & arts education.

Starting November 13 through the end of the year, fans can join the CHOOSE KIND movement in a variety of ways — from participating in social giveaways to college campus tours, KIND wants everyone to feel the impact of each small act of kindness.
