Send us your Good News: The Journal News seeks brighter side of life for new series

In Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties, where everyday life is about the daily grind, the hustle, bustle, and the latest headlines, sometimes we forget to slow down and appreciate the positivity around us. We could all use a bit of cheer from time to time.

That's why The Journal News/lohud.com is asking you, our readers, to send us your Good News.

Did you witness an act of kindness, or is your club or charity hosting a community service event? Do you want to spotlight someone who gives a good cause their all, or highlight a neighbor that goes the extra mile to make your community a better place?

Tell us a bit about your good news and we may just feature it in The Journal News and online!

How to submit Good News to lohud.com

Send Good News submissions of no more than 150 words to GoodNews@lohud.com. Be sure to include your name and phone number, as well as the town you are writing us from.

You can also send us a photo related to your Good News submission by uploading a photo via bit.ly/lohudthroughyoureyes .
