A Thursday inbox for Salina

Good things are happening here. Let’s read them first.

Feel Good Salina is a free weekly community newsletter — one cheerful letter each Thursday — that celebrates accomplishments, kindness, service, family events, and the people who make this city brighter.

Why this exists

With all of the negativity in the standard press, we decided to highlight the good.

Salina is full of neighbors who show up, businesses that invest, students who excel, volunteers who quietly keep people fed and housed, and families who make room for one more. This newsletter is a weekly place to share those stories — no comments section, no pile-on, just good work worth noticing.

Weekly, short, cheerful

One Thursday morning letter. Headlines, a few warm sentences, and a link if you want the whole story.

Anyone can share

Recommend a milestone, a service project, a family event, or a kindness you witnessed. We edit with care and keep the tone kind.

Ads that help, not shout

Free listings for genuine service opportunities. Paid ads for health, wellness, family activities, and employers who are building better lives.
