Good Deeds Day

DO GOOD in PDX on Good Deeds Day

Hundreds of residents in the Portland Metro area are expected to turn out on Good Deeds Day on SUNDAY APRIL 15, 2018 to do good for the benefit of others and the planet, putting into practice the simple idea that every single person can do a good deed, be it large or small, to improve the lives of others and positively impact the world.

Many projects are family friendly and  take place on the MJCC campus, as well as other sites around the community.

Good Deeds Day is a global movement that unites 93 countries around the world in doing good deeds. Since 2007, millions of people and thousands of organizations and businesses worldwide have united together every year to do good and volunteer.

Crossing all borders and cultures, thousands of businesses and organizations from more than 90 countries, including MTV Global, ABC Network Studios NYC, NASDAQ, Pope Francis, and many more have taken part. For more information about Good Deeds Day globally visit: www.good-deeds-day.org.

In Portland, Good Deeds Day is coordinated by the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland in partnership with the Mittleman Jewish Community Center. Over a dozen projects are available to volunteers of all ages and abilities. In addition, a special teen service program—J-SERVE for Teens—will be hosted in conjunction with Good Deeds Day at the Oregon Food Bank.
