The Sunshine Act was founded in 2010 when Stephanie saw a way to help her grieve over loved ones lost by suicide, by trying to brighten up someone else's day with a small act of kindness. The mission is to catch unsuspecting individuals with a little piece of sunshine to help them to see that they are strong enough to make it through the tough days. Since then, we have grown into a thriving outreach, serving hundreds of individuals each year through leaving Sunshine Kits and Sunshine Cards everywhere we go, attending outreach events and being a positive influence on social media.
Whether its leaving a little sunshine behind in public areas, passing sunshine out at events or simply obeying God and giving one personally face-to-face in the middle of a grocery aisle, our end goal is saving lives from suicide. However, we are aware, not everyone thinks about suicide but.... EVERYONE has hard days! It is our goal for a Sunshine Card or a Sunshine Kit to find you unexpectedly and that it gives you a glimmer of hope or a smile on your face, if even for just a moment!

If you have found a Sunshine Card or Kit somewhere or picked up some sunshine from an event, we would love to hear how it made you feel and what your experience was like as you opened your Sunshine Card or read through the Sunshine Kit information.
