Every year on July 11.

What is National Cheer Up the Lonely Day?

National Cheer Up the Lonely Day encourages people to reach out to those feeling isolated through simple acts of kindness—a call, a visit, or a kind word. Founded by Francis Pesek of Detroit, it aims to combat the loneliness so many experience, especially those who are homebound or in care. The July 11th date marks his birthday and his lifelong spirit of compassion.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
