Causes We
Support
A portion of every Kisses Included service goes toward protecting the wild animals, housing the vulnerable, strengthening our community, and educating the next generation. These are the causes closest to our heart.
Care That Extends
Beyond Your Door
Kisses Included was founded on a simple belief: that the love we have for our own animals is inseparable from the love we owe to all living things. The pets in our care are individuals — each with their own personality, history, and needs. So are the people and creatures whose well-being depends on the choices we make as a community.
Every booking you make with Kisses Included contributes, in a small but real way, to one of four causes spanning wildlife, humanitarian relief, local community, and civic education. When you book, you choose the cause.

Heart for the House
Mission Church Walnut Creek — Building Fund
Mission Church began in 2017 with 27 people gathered in a backyard in Walnut Creek. Eight years later, several thousand people call it home — and thousands more have found faith, community, and purpose through its doors. It is one of the most remarkable stories of grassroots growth in the East Bay.
That growth has outpaced its walls. Mission Church has exhausted every available rental space in Walnut Creek large enough to hold its congregation, and its current lease at MissionHQ will end when the building is torn down. In 2025, the church closed on a permanent home — but a $5 million construction gap remains before the doors can open.
"Heart for the House" is the name of Mission Church's building fund campaign. Kisses Included is honored to contribute to this effort — because a community that gathers, serves, and grows together is the foundation of everything we believe about belonging.
Organizations We Support
DoMyPart.org
Civic Education for the Next Generation
DoMyPart.org is a free, nonpartisan civic engagement platform designed to make civic participation accessible to everyone. Through fact-checking tools, civics education, and community action features, DoMyPart.org empowers individuals to discover causes, learn how government works, and take meaningful action in their communities — without the noise of partisan politics.
Kisses Included is proud to support DoMyPart.org because we share that belief. Caring for our world means more than protecting animals and housing neighbors. It means building communities where people have the knowledge and tools to advocate for everything they love.
Organizations We Support
Bay Area Rescue Mission
Serving East Bay's Most Vulnerable Since 1965
The Bay Area Rescue Mission has been a cornerstone of compassion in the East Bay for over six decades. Based in Richmond, California, the Mission provides emergency shelter, hot meals, clothing, and recovery programs to homeless men, women, and children across the region — meeting the most urgent needs with dignity and care.
Homelessness in the East Bay is not an abstract statistic. It is neighbors, veterans, families, and individuals who have fallen through the gaps of a system that was not built to catch them. The Mission's approach goes beyond emergency relief — offering job training, life skills, and long-term support designed to help people rebuild stable, independent lives.
Kisses Included believes that caring for the vulnerable — whether they have four legs or two — is the same calling. A portion of every service we provide supports the Bay Area Rescue Mission's work to restore hope and housing in our own backyard.
Organizations We Support
Xerces Society
Protecting Invertebrates and the Ecosystems That Depend on Them
The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation is a nonprofit organization that protects the natural world through the conservation of invertebrates and their habitats. Founded in 1971, Xerces works with scientists, land managers, and communities to safeguard pollinators, aquatic invertebrates, and other wildlife that form the foundation of healthy ecosystems.
Pollinators like bees, butterflies, and beetles are responsible for one out of every three bites of food we eat. Yet habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have driven dramatic declines in invertebrate populations worldwide. Xerces leads science-based programs in habitat restoration, pesticide reduction, and endangered species protection across North America.
Kisses Included is proud to support the Xerces Society because the health of every ecosystem — including the ones our pets and horses call home — depends on the smallest creatures among us. When we protect invertebrates, we protect everything that depends on them.
