Federation’s Sara & Samuel J. Lessans Good Deeds Week
Be the GOOD you want to see in the world!

This April 7 – 14, The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington’s Sara & Samuel J. Lessans Good Deeds Week will once again bring together 60+ community partners and thousands of participants across DC, MD, and Northern VA to address pressing needs across our region.

Explore the many ways in which you can do good and care for others, including helping refugee families build a new life, filling the shelves of local food pantries, cleaning up waterways and community gardens, gathering supplies for unhoused individuals, and more.
