Our Story

For over 25 years, DailyGood has been sharing stories that highlight the good in our world. We believe that by focusing on the positive, we can inspire people to create positive change in their own lives and communities.

DailyGood is a volunteer-run project of ServiceSpace, a global community dedicated to small acts of service. Our mission is to spread good news and inspiration to people worldwide through our daily newsletter and website.

About DailyGood

About DailyGood

"There are stories the world tells us, and stories our spirit longs to hear."

DailyGood was born not with fanfare, but with a whisper — a single college student, a seed of kindness, a daily quote shared among friends. No grand blueprint, just the humble instinct to water what is good.

That was 1998.

Since then, the world has shifted — seas have risen, wires have quickened, and suffering has worn many names. But through it all, there has remained an unshakable truth: There is still beauty. There is still compassion. And there are still thousands — no, millions — who rise each day with a heart wide enough to hold another's sorrow, and hands steady enough to lift a fallen stranger.

DailyGood stands in service of that truth.

Each morning, we offer a small bouquet of stories — a glimpse of an elder planting seeds she will never see bloom, a chorus of youth choosing peace over fury, a quote that catches your breath and a quiet action you might take to leave the world a little softer than you found it.

This is not blind optimism. We know the world aches. We see the fractured headlines, the injustice, the grief. But we also know — as the mycelium knows, as the forest canopy knows — that light filters in through even the thickest shadows. And that joy, shared freely, becomes a form of resistance.

Everything you see on DailyGood is a labor of love. There are no sponsors. No algorithms nudging your attention. Just a circle of volunteers, linked by trust, who spend their days weaving together threads of goodness into a tapestry of hope. We don't ask for anything in return — only that you carry the story forward in your own way.

To all who have read, shared, contributed, or simply paused to feel — thank you. This is a collective symphony, and each note matters.

May these offerings remind you: The world is not only what breaks — it is also what mends. And in the quiet act of noticing the good, you become part of its unfolding.

With deep gratitude,
The DailyGood Team

"When we will all see our role in society as stewards, we will all light up the sky together like countless stars on a dark night. Don’t think of society as the sky on a full moon night. The moon's harsh light blinds us to the true and humble work of the stars. But on a moonless night, the true servants shine forth, as though they are connected invisibly in this vast and infinite cosmos."
