The good people nobody told you about

Turn on the news and it can feel like nobody is helping anybody. That is not true. Every day, someone drives a neighbor to an appointment, a small shop feeds a team, a company gives its people a day to volunteer. Good Deeds is where we say their names out loud.

What Good Deeds is about

It is simple. You tell us who is doing good. We check the story, share it with our readers, and link to them and tag them, so more people see the good they do. Good news deserves to travel as far as bad news does.

Who you can nominate

A personThe coworker who covers for everyone. The coach who stays late. The stranger who showed up.
A familyThe family that fosters, adopts, cares for a parent, or quietly helps the whole street.
A local businessThe diner that feeds first responders. The shop that hires people who need a second chance.
A company or groupA church team, a charity, a club, or a big company that gives back in a real way.

What makes a great story

  • It is true, and you can say exactly what happened.
  • It helps other people, not just the person telling it.
  • It is kind without needing credit.

Questions people ask

Who can I nominate?

Anyone doing real good. A neighbor, a teacher, a nurse, a coach, a family that quietly helps others, a local shop, a church group, a charity or a big company. If their good deed helps people, we want to hear about it.

Can I nominate myself or my own business?

We lean toward stories about other people. If your business or group does real good for others, tell us anyway. We read everything and decide what fits.

Does it cost anything?

No. It is free to send in a story and free to be featured.

What kind of story works best?

A true, specific one. Who did what, for whom, and what happened because of it. A few honest sentences is enough. You do not need to write it perfectly.

Will you share my name?

Only if you want us to. We use your email to follow up on your story. Tell us in the form if you would rather stay out of it.

Do you check the facts?

Yes. We read every story and check it before we share anything. If we cannot confirm it, we will not post it.

Will every story be posted?

Not every one, and we cannot promise a date. We pick real stories we can stand behind, and we share them on the site and on X, linking to and tagging the people and groups doing the good.

What if I do not have a website or link for them?

That is fine. A name and a city is enough to start. A link just helps us check the story and tag them.
