About
It started with a feeling.
I like to call it a soul-nudge.
I certainly didn’t plan to start a movement. I simply meant to look for ways to help others.
And then I started noticing things. Things that broke my heart.
I noticed the needs. The poverty. The kids sleeping on floors at night. Children going to school hungry. I noticed holey shoes and worn out clothes. I noticed moms working two jobs and dads trying to make ends meet. I noticed lonely widows. And the homeless. The broken-hearted. The hopeless.
But I also noticed good-hearted people within our communities who wanted to help. I noticed churches and social/civic organizations who wanted to engage with those in need.
And in 2012, I gathered a group of fellow-noticers. We married vision + need with community + action and called it Gifts for Good. Our goal was to serve ten families.
We filled an empty warehouse completely FULL of donations–clothes, food, beds, mattresses, gift cards, household items, furniture–we even gave away a truck!
A small group project turned into an enormous communal effort of everyday people doing everyday good.
And just like that, ten families turned into a hundred. A soul-nudge turned into a movement. A movement turned into a non-profit. And we named it The Everyday Good.
We are proof that a single idea, birthed by God and led by the Holy Spirit, has the power to change the lives of people all around us for Good.
We are grateful you are here! Our story isn’t “ABOUT US”; it’s about others.
We're here to focus on the good and build a community of people looking to encourage others to do the same. Welcome here!
IT’S ALL GOOD.
In a chaotic world of bad news and bad things and bad people, there is a Greater Good which exists. And It lives within each of us.
​
We’re everyday people looking for the everyday good in our everyday lives.
​
The only thing worth doing in this life, is what we do for one another. We all have the power to look for opportunities to be The Everyday Good through our words, stories, thoughts, actions, and deeds. Our calling is to see the good, find the good, and then be the good with the hope that all of us do-gooders can change the world in everyday good ways.
