ABOUT US


Our goal is to create an online newspaper where the good can be seen in our communities and where the excellence of neighbors can be celebrated and encouraged. We hope you will join us!
Welcome to “The Bulletin Post!”

DONATIONS



The Bulletin Post is the result from years of ideas and conversations between neighbors. Over the years
we’ve noticed the lack of uplifting, positive community news and stories in the local press.
In February of 2020 that opportunity presented itself, and we felt that God had been leading us to begin
this online newspaper and we dove straight in.
We were homeschooled through high school and own several of our own businesses, but more
importantly, we have a passion for our community. If you share this love for the Newport News and surrounding areas you can send a little our way through donations. Thank you.

MONTHLY DONATION
