Dallas Doing Good

Dallas Doing Good Dallas Doing Good is a digital media platform focused on creating and sharing stories that support good news and good work in North Texas.

Everywhere we turn we see someone who is dedicating time, resources, and energy to making our city and our world a better place. Dallas Doing Good was started with a hope that sharing these stories we would inspire more people to do the same. After more than four years of reporting, we are happy to see that our intuition was correct and that positive community stories do, in fact, lead to more robust involvement with local good work. The editorial team and volunteer contributors purposefully seek out stories about the helpers, leaders, entrepreneurs, and problem-solvers across North Texas, with a focus on collaboration and long-term impact.

Feel Good Friday: Dallas just produced a national champion, and he's got four legs and a badge. 🐾

Behind the cute face is a dog doing important work, keeping travelers safe! Swipe through to meet DFW's top dog. 🛬🐶

Feel Good Friday: Meet Dolly 🐾

This sweet pup arrived at Operation Kindness in May with blue dye crusted into her fur and injuries from a fall. She was slow to eat, walk, even blink. But with care from the team, antibiotics, surgery, and a whole lot of patience, Dolly started to come back to life.

This month, on National Dog Day, Dolly found her forever home through Operation Kindness's PetSmart Everyday Adoption Center.

That's what Feel Good Friday is all about!!

Every day, we get to tell the good news stories of Dallas. The school that's going above and beyond for their students, the neighbor who shows up with a meal, the nonprofit changing lives one person at a time, and so much more! 💙

These stories deserve to be told, and telling them takes support.

Early giving for North Texas Giving Day is live now, so you don't have to wait until September 17 to make an impact. Give today and help us keep spotlighting the good happening all around us.

50 Dallas County veterans just received some incredible news. VNA Texas - Meals on Wheels and Hospice received a $75,000 grant from the Texas Veterans Commission to provide a full year of support for these local heroes.

Every weekday for a year, each veteran will get a hot, nutritious meal delivered right to their door. Volunteers and drivers will be there in person five days a week, doing wellness and safety checks and making sure no one feels forgotten. If a veteran needs extra support, whether that's a referral to social services or other community resources, VNA is there for that, too.

Supporting veterans is central to VNA's mission, and this grant helps them reach even more of the men and women who served our country. Thank you to the Texas Veterans Commission for investing in Dallas County's veterans! 💙

You can't start a business, or succeed in school, without reliable technology. Compudopt is closing that gap in Dallas. Since 2019, they've distributed more than 25,978 computers to Dallas-area residents, provided technology access to 28,056 students, and enrolled over 3,013 under-resourced households in affordable high-speed internet service.

During National Black Business Month, it's worth naming what Compudopt already knows: the digital divide falls hardest on Black and brown communities. Closing that gap is about giving every entrepreneur, every student, and every family a real shot.

This August, support the organization making technology a tool for everyone. Support Compudopt: https://bit.ly/4xXSKbq
