Community Project Highlights
Did you find a Tristin’s Project blackbird in our community?
If so, we invite you to let us know where he landed, by either contacting us or posting a picture to your social media sites. Don’t forget to tag Tristin’s Project!
Once yearly, volunteers will be releasing a flock of these meaningful wooden blackbirds. A flock of blackbirds symbolizes transformation and change. To many, a single blackbird represents a message from a loved one in a spiritual world.
May this special little bird, if you are a lucky recipient, be a message to you from Tristin’s Project: May your blackbird bring a smile to your face and inspire kindness from within. May it support you, encourage you, and motivate you daily.

Our Inaugural Kindness Event
Our very beginning with no end…
Kindness Bag Project
Do you know a family in the Salem or surrounding communities that is suffering the unthinkable, a recent loss of a child?
If so, reach out to Tristin’s Project and we will add them to our “Kindness Bag” delivery list.
With each Kindness Bag, we try to deliver small offerings that we feel might help bring small comforts during their time of deep grief.
Paying it forward Tristin Style…
Every spring, volunteers gather to pay it forward by randomly paying for strangers dining or entertainment bill. A practice very near and dear to Tristin’s Project.
This simple act of kindness brings so much joy to our community.
Annual Yoga Kindness Event
What originally started as a fundraising event our first year hosting, turned into a free Kindness Event, the following year. We wanted to make this event something for all to enjoy.
Join us next June.
“Helping others brings me the most joy in life.”
