The Little Red Mailbox is for Sharing Your Heart

Once created the little Red Mailbox invites visitors and passersby to express words of goodwill and connection. 

The original Little Red Mailbox was a personal way of matching grief and loss with hope and healing. As its originator, Sue Goodrich placed the first mailbox on a post in Kill Devil Hills, NC. She was experiencing the loss of her mother and decided to reach out and invite others to share their feelings.

Inside the Little Red Mailbox is a journal and some pens. Since its first entry, 45 journals have been filled with thoughts from those who are drawn to come by and share.  Like the Little Free Library, the Little Red Mailbox can now be seen in neighborhoods across the southeast. And you might ask yourself, “When does a house become a home?”

You will likely find the answer when the sticks and bricks have been transformed into something personal. Through family celebration or loss, you find “home” in deeply felt and shared emotions.
