Welcome! I’m so glad you found us. 

Kindness Happens Here is a free San Diego newspaper devoted to stories that celebrate generosity and community spirit.

This paper is produced by journalists who have covered San Diego for decades. Together, we bring you stories about local businesses, organizations and everyday people who exemplify kindness. We share fresh ideas and novel research findings. And when we tackle tough community issues, we spotlight efforts that are making a difference. 

Kindness Happens Here is always free. No subscriptions, no paywalls — just open doors to stories that connect us.

We hope you’ll come back each month to see what’s new. Please sign up so you don't miss an issue. And, if a story hits home for you, please share it. Together we can keep kindness in the conversation and help these stories find the wide circle they deserve.

Because kindness belongs on the front page. 

In gratitude,
Leigh Fenly, Founder & Editor
