​KINDNESS CERTIFIED COMPANIES​

​Kindness Certified Companies (KCC) are good to their people, community, planet and world.

Kids for Peace, home to The Great Kindness Challenge — in partnership with the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce organizations — are joining together to recognize upstanding companies and provide meaningful opportunities to elevate their commitment to kindness.

We are excited to be one of the official partners of the Kindness Certified Company program and look forward to honoring our Chamber Members for their kind leadership.

We hope you will join us as we inspire one another and create businesses that benefit people, communities and the planet!
