Locals We Love: New Community Spotlight

Tell Us Who's Bringing Sunshine to the Community

By Stacie Yocum, Your Local Publisher August 2, 2026

Every community is built on the kindness and hard work of the people living in it. Whether it's a teacher going the extra mile for a student, a neighbor organizing a local clean-up, a child going out of their way to help friends, or a coach teaching teamwork on the field, small acts of goodness happen around us every single day.

The new Locals We Love feature is my way of shining a bright light on these wonderful individuals and giving them the recognition they deserve!

Share a Story of Kindness

I need your help to celebrate these everyday hometown heroes! If you know someone who consistently goes above and beyond to help others, I want to hear their story.

Here's how you can get involved:

Nominate a Local: Fill out the nomination form to let me know who you think I should feature next and why they make our community special. If your nomination is chosen, I'll be in touch!

Spread the Love: You'll see these special locals featured in the Newsletter on Thursdays and on Facebook + Instagram the next day. I'd love to see everyone show some support and spread the positivity with kind comments, shared encouragement, and letting friends and family know about the program.

I can't wait to share these joyful stories with you all and celebrate the wonderful people who make our community feel like home. Stay tuned for our very first spotlight coming soon!
