Every day, someone does something good and nobody writes it down. A neighbor pays for a stranger’s groceries. A small shop feeds kids after school. A big company gives its people a day to volunteer. These stories deserve to be told.
So we are starting a new series called Good Deeds. We will share real stories about people, families, local businesses and larger companies who are making life better for others.
Here is how it works. You tell us who is doing good. We read it and check the facts. If it holds up, we write it, link to them, and tag them so more people see the good they do. We never make anything up and we never say more than we know.
You do not need to know them well. A short note about what they did is enough. It can be someone in your town, someone at your church, or a company you love buying from.
If you run a business or lead a group that is doing good, you can send your own story too. We just ask that it is real and that it helps people.
Send in a good deed here. It takes about two minutes.
Small acts add up. Let’s help the right people get seen.
How to play Good Deeds
Share a good deed you saw or did, or tell us about someone who is making a difference. Keep it short and kind. Your story may be featured to inspire others. Please do not include private details about people who have not agreed to be named.
Why we made it
The world has plenty of bad news. We want a place where good news gets the spotlight too. Your story could encourage someone who is having a hard day.
Tips to get more out of it
Be specific. Say what happened and how it made you feel. Short and true is better than long and polished. Read other stories for a boost, and leave a kind comment.
Play with someone you love
Games are better together. Play with your kids, your parents, a friend or a coworker. Talk about what comes up. A few minutes of fun can start a real conversation.
Share the good
If it made you smile, send it to someone who could use a lift. Every share spreads a little more kindness. There are no ads in the middle of play, no pressure and nothing to buy. Just a few minutes of good.

Why we collect good stories
Good news rarely goes viral. Yet it quietly shapes our communities. By sharing the stories of people who help, we show others that kindness is common and worth copying.
What makes a good story
Real events, told simply. Say who did what and why it mattered. Keep it kind and truthful. Please avoid sharing private details about people who have not agreed to it, and do not post anything that could put someone at risk.
