As　software　engineering　(SE)　practitioners,　we　can　help　society　by　using　our　communities　of　experts　to　address　a　software　need　of　a　socially　conscious　organization.　Doing　so　can　benefit　society　in　the　locale　of　a　SE　conference　and　provide　access　to　international　experts　for　local　organizations.　Furthermore,　established　SE　researchers　as　well　as　practitioners　and　students　have　the　opportunity　for　a　unique　learning　experience.　While　the　SE　community　has　already　realized　the　importance　of　addressing　human　values　and　promoting　social　good　objectives　in　software　development,　we　are　unaware　of　previous　attempts　to　leverage　SE　conferences　for　this　activity.　Conferences　present　an　opportunity　to　enjoy　the　assembly　of　SE　practitioners,　researchers,　and　students　for　the　purpose　of　a　philanthropic　endeavor.　Over　the　past　four　years　of　running　a　＂Requirements　Engineering　for　Social　Good＂　event　called　RE　Cares,　co-located　with　the　International　Conference　on　Requirements　Engineering,　we　worked　with　the　stakeholders　local　to　the　conference　venue.　We　selected　stakeholders　who　would　not　necessarily　have　ready　access　to　requirements　engineering,　software　design,　and　development　expertise　otherwise,　to　build　software　targeting　＂good　causes.＂　In　the　last　two　years,　this　event　was　altered　to　adapt　to　the　constraints　induced　by　COVID-19,　moving　to　a　hybrid　mode　and　changing　many　of　its　practices　accordingly.　This　paper　summarizes　and　generalizes　our　experiences,　discussing　our　lessons　learned　in　the　context　of　the　pandemic　and　beyond　and　providing　a　framework　for　conducting　similar　social　contribution　in　any　SE　conferences　in　general.
