What Is It?
We put the cherry in charity. Doing good has never felt sweeter. Social Friday is a new cool way to spend your Friday afternoons – with your team, for the community. Come on, try something fresh! It’s the least productive time of the workweek anyway.
Why Do It?
There are at least nine very good reasons why Social Friday will have a positive effect on your employees, your local community and on your identity as an entrepreneur. Don’t worry if you are still a student, we will give you an extra three.
Why Do It with Us?
Social Friday will ensure, that you get the most out of your commitment. It’s also in our own interest. We will help you to help us to create a platform for social awareness, independent from any religious or political group and without any member fee.
We know about the benefits of doing social good. We know about the unproductive hours on Friday afternoons. Let’s use these facts for a better society – for a healthier economy.– Fikret Zendeli, Founder
Be Social
Community Service is a sanction? Voluntary work is dull? Think again! With Social Friday you will have tons of fun while you make better use of the lost hours on Friday afternoons and be part of something bigger.

🍕❤️🍕 We challenge you to the #SFPizzaChallenge. Call up a local pizzeria and place an order to be delivered to a clinic, care center, a grocery store or anywhere you think someone could use a slice of pie. 🍕❤️🍕 --
⚠️ SAFETY IS THE #1 PRIORITY! We strongly advise all pizzerias and delivery personnel to take all necessary measures to prevent the virus from spreading to customers, employees and crew – to wash and disinfect hands thoroughly, reinforce alcohol sanitization for all our crew, making sure that they disinfect their hands and fingers before servicing a customer at the store counter and before and after a delivery. All delivery personnel should wear masks during work and while delivering. Please take prompt countermeasures and actions to prevent further spread of the virus in conformance to your government's guidelines while prioritizing the safety and security of our communities.
Social Friday is a global CSR initiative turning unproductive Friday afternoons into social good.
We operate as a non-profit and cultivate a community of companies and organizations around the globe which host volunteer activities on set Fridays throughout the year.
Due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, our volunteering efforts are currently on pause, but our team continues to work (safely from our homes) to contribute in some positive way during this odd moment in history.
This pandemic makes the slogan of #Solidarity literal--an injury to one is an injury to all--and the need for our collective mission to take care of the people around us has never been so crucial.
For the indefinite future, we are repurposing our Social Friday channels as an outlet for positivity and celebrating human kindness in hope of sparking compassion and inspiration. We will highlight stories of people and companies from around the globe that use their creativity and resources to change the world for the better during this historic moment of hardship.
Thank you for being a part of our community and sharing our vision of a better world!
A FedEx delivery worker posted a photo on Instagram of a care package left for couriers on a front porch in Glendale, Arizona.
The note on the cardboard package (filled with water bottles, Gatorade, cans of soup and rolls of toilet paper) reads: "Thank you for being committed to the human race, we are depending on you! Take anything you want! Spread love! Stronger TOGETHER."
Two things are happening at once: The first is that shelters are in crisis and begging for relief. The second is that pets are providing comfort and relief to desperate people - for ages, pets have been beloved companions. The problems of overrun shelters and lonely people can solve each other.
Shelters need the help now more than ever. Some animal rescues in big cities, hoping to find foster homes for their remaining charges, are still processing requests and handing off animals while closed to the public. When you adopt a pet and volunteer to take one or two of these animals home with you from your local shelter, you save a life. --
Can pets get coronavirus?
According to the CDC, “At this time, there is no evidence that companion animals, including pets, can spread COVID-19… only their unconditional love is contagious.” #TogetherAtHome #mypandemicsurvivalplan 🐶 @muttvillesf
