We could all use some great news right now and some stories of people helping each other. Reader’s Digest recently asked for stories of people helping each other around America and they voted on the best place to live based on those stories. They received thousands of entries, and each story is sweeter and more touching than the next. There was a  “Nicest Places” Advisory Council” which included famous journalist and author Mitch Album.

A few of the stories can be found about Alabama, Alaska, and Arizona. There are many stories here that will really inspire readers and perhaps help others to come up with thoughtful ways to help each other in their communities.
