Mitzvah Day

Mitzvah Day brings thousands of people together, to give our most valuable possession: our time. We strive to make a positive difference in the communities around us on Mitzvah Day and throughout the year by encouraging and celebrating volunteering and building relationships with people we may not usually meet to build a strong civil society.

On Mitzvah Day, communities and individuals are empowered to engage in a wide variety of social action projects, including visiting older or lonely people; collecting clothing to donate to refugees; replenishing food bank stores; cooking for homeless people, and taking part in environmental projects. All these projects facilitate genuine connections between communities, individuals, and the charities they support, using social action as the way to connect.
