Story Corps founder, Dave Isay, beautifully captures the way stories have shaped the way I see the world and the mission of the Good Cause Blog. My dream for our new website is to harness the power of local stories to connect our readers with all of the organizations in Cleveland that are committed to making the world a better place. Turning inspiration into action.

Whether it’s a small donation, a sparked conversation, or a new way of interacting with each other and the world around us – we’ll challenge ourselves to be the change we want to see in our community. There are so many untold stories surrounding us everywhere we go – of kindness, adversity, faith, triumph, courage and resilience. These stories have the power to change lives and “everyone around you has a story the world needs to hear.” Keep sending us yours! I can’t wait to give you a beautiful place to share them.
