Yes, I see nothing wrong with it. However, doing it publicly to get virtue signaling brownie points to get news coverage and social media likes is the opposite of "Christian."
Doing righteous deeds and actions publicly is specifically talked about.
Matthew 6:1-5
1. Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4. That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
5. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
And it also talks about fasting, too:
Matthew 6:16
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Edit - Guys, please praise me for being so biblically knowledgeable. Tell me I'm a good Christian for knowing that virtue signaling for social media likes is against Christ's teachings.
