This year, Good Deeds Day comes at a particularly appropriate time — with violence and war becoming reality for millions of people, volunteering to benefit others is a sure way to spread much-needed kindness near and far.

Launched back in 2007, Good Deeds Day has grown from a local volunteering event in Israel into a globe-spanning phenomenon celebrated in more than 100 countries. Individuals and groups volunteer across various fields such as beach clean-ups and school renovations.
