Originally founded by Rachel Wilkerson when she saw a need in her community, co-founded by our online operator Olivia Bell, along with our merch designer Bronwyn Jayde, it is our mission to make people feel loved and supported during hard times.
We have done many projects in the past such as those for people who are sick, fighting cancer, families and individuals who have lost loved ones and many more.
Our large group of over 120 female followers of Jesus based across North America each contribute to our monthly projects, making a beautiful collection of love for our recipients. We write notes, cards, letters, send small goodies (such a verse cards, art, stickers, etc.), and some also send monetary or physical gifts. All put together it creates a beautiful box for someone very special.
It is our hope and prayer that each and every project encourages, uplifts and brings a smile to the recipient's face and reminds them how truly loved they are by others and especially by Jesus Christ. We weave the Gospel message through each and every contribution, creating a beautiful tapestry that testifies of the goodness of our Lord.

The three girls and their amazing God that tie the package together.
Rachel WilkersonOriginal FounderRachel Wilkerson is a farm girl and stay-at-home daughter from the Midwest. She started The Smile Project when she was twelve, and the Lord took it out of her hands, gave her two awesome buddies to get it off the ground, and accomplished more with it than she ever imagined. When she’s not reading, writing letters, or playing with her horse, Rachel enjoys helping her sister publish a Christian girls’ magazine, trying to write stories, playing the fiddle, and listening to music. She has been a Daughter of the King for seven years and one of her favorite Bible verses is 2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
