The Good Deed Project

How about some free promotion to go along with that warm, fuzzy feeling?

Each week, What Weekly wants to highlight the good deeds you’re doing with the hope that your good deed will inspire more good deeds. We want to promote you and your stuff too.

Be a part of the Good Deed Project: Submit your good deed story to us. Each week we’ll give one of you a platform to promote anything you think is important.

1. Nominate someone else’s good deed- or your own good deed

2. Write a quick note about it and send it to charmcity@whatweekly.com

3. Our favorite good deed story will win a free Spotlight Feature in What Weekly

4. The Gift: Spotlight Feature includes photo, paragraph and link to the cause, topic, business or art of your choice

The What Weekly Spotlight Feature will help drive awareness about your cause and drive traffic to your website, plus you get the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing you did something good.

Email submissions to charmcity@whatweekly.com or post them on our Facebook page. We encourage humor and boldness.

Building Baltimore’s Tribes

Baltimoreans have a distinct advantage when it comes to fostering a sustainable society. The smaller the city the easier it is to create tribe-like communities where we can grow our own food, support each other and cultivate a better quality of life; a life where neighbors actually care about one another and everyone picks up random trash from the sidewalk- just because that’s what you do when you care about your environment and your people.

Small, simple changes are all it takes.

Deep down, everyone wants their work to be something they love- something that matters. We may be surprised how small alterations in behavior can create large-scale changes in life.

7 Profound Contributions To Your Community

1. Buy food from farmers markets, local farms and independent grocers.
2. Buy art and music from local artists; go experience exhibitions and live shows.
3. Shop at and buy services from locally-owned, independent businesses.
4. Clean up your yard or sidewalk (even if you rent).
5. Start a positive conversation with your neighbor (especially if they usually get on your nerves).
6. Start planning a garden for next spring (Think abandoned parking lots or friends’ backyards).
7. Do an ol’ fashioned random good deed.

Building a tribe need not be a major undertaking; it’s already happening. To help speed things up, we’re starting The Good Deed Project.

Each week, we want to highlight the good deeds you’re doing with the hope that your good deed will inspire more good deeds.

Be a part of the Good Deed Project: Submit your good deed story to us and we’ll give you a platform to promote anything you think is worthy.

Thanks!
