Big Lots is collaborating with The Kids Mental Health Foundation to celebrate World Mental Health Day (October 10) with the Kindness Kits Challenge, a four-day promotion to support children's mental health. From October 10-13, funds raised at checkout will be used to distribute Kindness Kits to local elementary schools.

The Kindness Kits include resources to foster kindness and mental wellness in classrooms, helping children develop social skills and empathy. Big Lots has already raised over $2 million for the foundation and continues its commitment to improving children's mental health through donations, scholarships, and community outreach programs.
