National Good Neighbor Day is celebrated on September 28 each year in the United States. This day encourages people to recognize the importance of good relationships with their neighbors and to foster a sense of community. It serves as a reminder to appreciate those who live nearby and to engage in acts of kindness. The origins of National Good Neighbor Day date back to 1978 when President Jimmy Carter proclaimed it as a day to promote neighborly connections. Activities may include sharing a meal, offering help, or simply spending time together, all aimed at strengthening community bonds and enhancing social ties.
