In partnership with Repair the World and the Arison Family Foundation, Good Deeds Days offers a full range of hands-on service opportunities.

Participants can distribute food at one of Federation’s Free Kosher Food Distribution Drive-Thrus; tend crops at an urban garden; make sandwiches for those experiencing food insecurity; and deliver Passover food baskets during Jewish Community Services of South Florida's annual Matzah Mitzvah.
