Overview

The Sara & Samuel J. Lessans Good Deeds Day is an international day of service that amplifies the value of giving back to our communities. Since 2007, millions of people from thousands of businesses, nonprofits, schools, families, and individual good-doers have taken part. Good Deeds Day is celebrated in over 110 countries worldwide and is growing every year!

2024 Details

Please scroll down to learn more about this year’s projects. Check back soon for the date of the program!

We have projects for people of all ages, including a special event for young professionals, a separate project for teens ages 11-18, and activities for children ages 5+.

Join us to make sandwiches, noodle soup jars, literacy kits, and – special this year – for projects that help strengthen our civil society like Get-Out-The-Vote postcards and thanking election poll workers.

Please note that we request a $16 per person registration fee to help us cover the costs of supplies for all projects held at the JCC.

In honor of Good Deeds Day, help us collect baby body wash for our longtime partner, Lutheran Social Services of the National Capital Area (LSSNCA). LSSNCA provides newly arrived refugee families with essential supplies and they are running very low on baby body wash. Drop off baby wash at the EDCJCC on Sunday, April 14, or order through our Amazon Wishlist!
