Dive into today's feel good news with incredible stories of community spirit and compassion.
A baby falls out of a moving car in Lumberton, North Carolina, and three strangers, along with quick-moving EMS and police, race to save his life. In Davenport, Iowa, a $3,000 medical helmet goes missing, until a man named Scott Cline sees a post in the What’s Going On Quad Cities Facebook group and quietly mails it back. And in Wake County, even the cauliflower gets eaten thanks to a student-powered food-share program that’s turning unopened lunches into lifelines.
You’ll hear about:
- Flynn from Cedar Falls, and the community that showed up for him
- Scott Cline from Davenport, who turned a Facebook post into a small act of big kindness
- The fast response from Lumberton’s police and EMS, and the man who blocked traffic with his truck
- Students and staff at Millbrook and Dillard Drive schools helping others one snack at a time
These stories could’ve ended badly. But they didn’t.
