Celebrate Interfaith Mitzvah Day Tomorrow or Everyday

 Found in the event listing on Compassionate Action Network site:

On Sunday 15th November - Mitzvah Day - thousands of people will take time out of their busy schedules to make a difference in someone else's life.

You, too, can celebrate your faith through action this Mitzvah Day.

Begun as a celebration of social action in the US Jewish community, Mitzvah Day has since grown into an international multi-faith day of action.

"It challenges people of all faiths to ask themselves how their faith leads them to make a difference in a practical way," says Tony Blair. "Making someone smile, helping improve the environment and providing concrete assistance to the poor. This for me is what faith is about: meaningful, tangible, collective action."

This Mitzvah Day, you could donate your clothes to a local charity shop, help clean up a local park, or organise your co-workers to spend your lunch hour volunteering for a good cause.

It doesn't matter how you help, just as long as you're prepared to give a little bit of yourself to make a difference for someone else.
