Be Part of a Global Day of Doing Good!

Join thousands of volunteers from 115 countries on Good Deeds Day, an international day of service that began in Israel in 2007. On Sunday, April 6, and beyond, you can make a difference by doing mitzvot (good deeds) that help our planet and people in need right here in the Palm Beaches. This year, Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County is partnering with Palm Beach Atlantic University to expand Good Deeds Day, creating even more opportunities for you to be involved on April 6 and throughout the entire month.

Every person has the power to create positive change. Imagine the impact when we do good together!
