Cub Scout Pack 270 is conducting a supply drive through May 23 for Kind Works, the nonprofit organization that grew out of the closing last summer of the Ben’s Bells CT studio.

Based in the Stony Hill section of Bethel, Kind Works was created to continue the work Ben’s Bells CT volunteers — including many Newtown residents — did for over nearly 12 years and is founded on the belief that fostering a culture in which kindness is not just an act but a way of life leaves a lasting impact on generations to come.

Kind Works offers a volunteer-operated art studio, educational programs and workshops for community groups and corporations, and offers the talents of its volunteers in the creation of public murals.

Requested items for the supply drive include paper towels, glass cleaner, disinfectant spray, contractor size garbage bags, toilet paper, printer paper, small paint brushes, toothpicks, straws, painter’s tape, mops, clean buckets, brooms and dust pans, and Swiffer dusters.

Donations can be dropped off at Newtown Community Center, 8 Simpson Street; Hawley School, 49 Church Hill Road; Head O’Meadow School, 94 Boggs Hill Road; Middle Gate Elementary School, 7 Cold Spring Road; and Sandy Hook Elementary School, 12 Dickinson Drive.
