Tell Us Your Good Deed

I work and volunteer with MassHealth making sure everyone has healthcare. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege.

Why are you participating?

No one should be judged by their exterior appearance because you never know their story and what they are going through; and to also be nice to everyone because you don't know their story.

Worcester, MA
United States

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I run a mobile food pantry with my family in the city of Worcester. We outreach to areas with food deserts, people that are homebound and the homeless population.

Why are you participating?

I am participating because I have never done this project and seems cool.

Framingham, MA
United States

Tell Us Your Good Deed

As one of the first Brazilian immigrants to arrive in Framingham late in the 80s, I've helped many newcomers find a job and other opportunities and needs in my community.

Why are you participating?

No label affected me.

Fitchburg, MA
United States

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I engage with my community to do projects that improve life in the City of Fitchburg, most recently as the Chairman of the Fitchburg Cultural Council. You'll find me regularly volunteering at events & festivals, neighborhood clean-ups, Holiday Decorating Committee, Friends of Fitchburg Dogs & Dog Park, Fitchburg Farmer's Market and many more. I also use my time and talents to mentor and coach artists, individuals and businesses to be successful and connect people and groups together for a common cause.

Why are you participating?

I support programs that showcase the diversity of the community. Arts and culture are anchors that pull diverse groups of people together. More projects like these need to happen more frequently to tear down the walls of discrimination and misunderstanding.

Closter, NJ
United States

Tell Us Your Good Deed

My good deed is upholding the image of the black man in America. Everyday African American men and women are depicted as animalistic or less than other races, incapable of helping ourselves, often complaining rarely taking action. My good deed is being the best version of myself I can be, to show my brothers and sisters that WE are capable of so much more than we’re credited for. To show my brothers and sisters that all we’ll ever needed is a chance.
