She has been a blessing to our family. She helps mom to feel up when she is down. Her family is like family to us.One Good Deed Care RecipientMy volunteer treats me like a highly respected friend – it’s great and he is great. Especially with the difficulties of transportation and using the walker, he treats me like it is no big deal to be around me (client is a young survivor of a debilitating stroke) and it helps keep my drive toward independence going. My wife and I love OGD!One Good Deed Care RecipientI have been invited to her house for dinner on many occasions. While there, I was treated as an honored guest.One Good Deed Care RecipientThis connection was made in heaven- There’s not enough words in my vocabulary to say how grateful I am for bringing her into my life.One Good Deed Care RecipientI treasure the relationship created with our weekly phone calls. When we talk, I can hear the smile on the other side of the phone. When this coronavirus is over, I’d like to meet my new friend.Alyson, One Good Deed VolunteerWhen One Good Deed began, did you have any idea how much it would/could enhance the lives of so many?

At Good Deed Goods we work hard to offer a shopping experience where you get to shop for unique goods that have story and purpose. We strive to stock goods that are socially conscious and have a mission of their own and with every gift purchase, we donate 10% back to charities and organizations throughout our community, nation, and world that we feel are making a difference for GOOD.

Connection. Reassurance. Joy. Companionships.
Since 2006, One Good Deed (OGD) has carefully matched more than 500 older adults with volunteers for friendship and companionship. These kind and compassionate friendly visitors make a monumental difference in the lives of the older adults in our community - reducing loneliness and isolation and giving them meaningful social connections.
Because our volunteers aren’t currently able to meet in person, we’re excited to present our new “Friendly Phone Visitor” program! This ongoing initiative allows us to remain 100% committed to supporting our seniors – on the phone and virtually.
Right now, we have over 150 vetted volunteers who are listening and chatting about families near and far – on the phone! They’re sharing recipes, funny jokes, good movies to watch – all in the safety of their own residences.
Please know that we WILL proceed with our usual in-person friendly visits when it is safe to do so – but in the meantime, let’s all Phone A Friend!
To schedule a good old-fashioned phone call, check in by phone or computer, or visit when it’s safe to do so, please call 770-677-9489 and ask for the One Good Deed Friendly Visitor Program.

OGD carefully matches care recipients with a community volunteer who makes a one-year commitment to visit twice a month. Volunteers provide support by helping their recipient accomplish tasks such as running errands, shopping excursions, cooking a meal together, or simply enjoying an afternoon out. In undertaking these essential tasks together, volunteers act as social supports providing care recipients with companionship, encouragement and long lasting friendship.
