If May had a theme song, it would probably be something soft and hopeful — the kind that plays over a scene where people start showing up for each other.

This month, we’re spotlighting people and organizations doing just that:

• A Laurel-based nonprofit helping students become the first in their family to go to college

• A local woman offering showers — and dignity — to the unhoused

• A contractor who’s using his platform to help folks avoid scams and shady repairs

• And a gentle reminder that small acts of kindness still matter (you’ll see that in our Kindness Checklist)

They’re not all connected by location. But they’re connected by heart — and that makes them MargeauLand material.

Know a local do-gooder, quiet hero, or everyday Samaritan? I’m always looking for stories worth sharing in MargeauLand. Send them my way — we shine brighter when we lift each other up.
