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 and a healthier economy. Let’s reinvent Friday’s together! – Fikret Zendeli, Founder
Why Friday?
Fact: Friday is the least productive day of the week.*
One day, we thought:
What if we used those unproductive Friday hours to do something good for the community and team spirit? A few months later, the first Social Friday was born.
Upcoming Dates:
⚠️ Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all 2020 activities are postponed. We look forward to continuing our efforts in 2021. Stay tuned until then.
Social Friday happens four times a year—once each quarter. We choose set dates on which 100s of companies and organizations unite and host initiatives in their neighborhoods.
Be Rewarded
Helping others is great, isn’t it? But don’t just do it for the local community. Do it for your team spirit and do it for your very own personal experience.

It’s an interesting model. Hopefully many other organizations and enterprises will adopt this.

🥬 Locally grown food tastes better because it has had less time in transit and/or less time to sit around. This state of freshness also ensures that the food stays packed with its intended and initial nutrients. 🥬 Locally grown food helps build communities because when you buy directly from the farmer, you are building a relationship while also helping to support local farmers who are providing for you as much as they are providing for their own families. 🥬 Locally grown food is good for the environment and for sustainability because good farmers ensure that the land is well kept with minimal, if any, usage of chemicals and fertilizers. These practices can sequester carbon, and they can also help ensure proper natural habitats for wildlife.
It’s FRIDAY!!! We made it through another week! 🙌
@lichtblickhof is a center for animal-assisted pedagogy that works with children and families burdened by traumatic experiences or illness and disability through therapeutic work with animals.
For three weeks now, the therapy farm near Vienna, Austria has not been as it was: all therapies have been canceled and most long-term sponsorships have also been put on pause. The farm carries high fixed costs like feed and veterinary care for the horses which simply cannot be avoided, putting this non-profit in a very difficult financial situation.
For more information about how you can help visit their website www.lichtblickhof.at or donate directly to account: AT25 1200 0504 7256 0101.
