GOOD DEEDS DAY 2020

 

Out of an abundance of caution, we and our Jewish Volunteer Center (JVC) leadership have decided to cancel Good Deeds Day. We apologize for any inconvenience.


Sunday, March 29, is Good Deeds Day.

Create positive impact in our community during this global day that unites millions of volunteers from 108 countries in acts of service for the benefit of others and the planet.

Spend the last day of spring break helping others, sharing kindness and doing mitzvot (good deeds) throughout the Palm Beaches.

Good Deeds Day is graciously supported by the Alloy Family Foundation.
