March 27, 2018


Good Deeds Day is an international event with millions of participants in 70+ countries paying it forward through good deeds both large and small. This Sunday, April 15th there will be two wonderful opportunities for you to participate in passing on a little love and kindness to your neighbors and community.


Good Deeds Day at The Village of Rochester Hills

Spring time is here and it is the perfect time to organize, purge and clean out the closets. On April 15th from 2 - 5 pm, The Village of Rochester Hills will have four non-profits onsite to collect donations. It is a one stop donate location to help your spring cleaning go smoothly! All drop-off points will be along Adams Road on the west side of the Village.

Good Deeds Day in Downtown Rochester

Join the City of Rochester on Sunday, April 15th as they participate in Good Deeds Day by collecting household items for the Neighborhood House Clothes Closet

Rochester’s Good Deeds Day will be held at the Rochester Fire Department, 277 E. Second Street, from 10 am – 2 pm. The day will also include kids’ activities, tours of the Fire Station, fire & police vehicles and much more.

The little things that make a house a home. When you are living paycheck to paycheck or worse, it’s the small comforts you go without. The Neighborhood House Clothes Closet provides new or gently used household items that many of us take for granted. 

New items needed include kitchen utensils, can openers, measuring cups/spoons, pots and pans, small appliances (coffee makers, toasters, blenders, etc.), bath towels, throw rugs, full & king size sheets, comforters, bed pillows and pillowcases.
