What is "Good Deeds Buffalo" About?
Good Deeds Buffalo is a local talk show that memorializes the simple act of kindness. We celebrate the good deeds of everyday Western New York citizens who shine as beacons of hope and choose to selflessly make a difference in their community without asking what’s in it for them. From painters using their art to bring joy to cancer patients to human rights activists on a mission to protect vulnerable communities to musicians using their talents to heal others, our guests symbolize the importance of generosity.
How did "Good Deed Buffalo" come about?
Good Deeds Buffalo was founded after the sudden passing of Jordan James’ mother, Margie, in 2019. Jordan made the selfless decision to donate her organs, which helped two people see again and countless burn victims. Jordan and his family received a special thank you from one of the donation recipient families, and the satisfaction of making a difference in a stranger’s life helped Jordan deal with the grief of losing his mother. Prior to her passing, Jordan and his mother discussed the creation of a talk show that showcased the good deeds of others. He reflected on that conversation after her death and decided to channel his grief into something positive in her honor. They connected over a passion for kindness — Margie devoted much of her life to giving back to others, and Jordan understood the importance of showing compassion for others after experiencing bullying growing up. With that, Good Deeds Buffalo was born.
Jordan hosted the first episode of Good Deeds Buffalo in May 2021.
The Goal!
Jordan James seeks to uncover as many Good Deeds as he can to showcase the beautiful amount of positivity and love within the Queen City of Buffalo, NY and he aspires to one day bring this mission to a nationwide audience.
"Everyone has hardships and challenges but it's what you do with it that is key. I am fixated on finding people to help inspire others,”
