“Good” may not be secular. Things like Christian retreats, teaching Bible studies, worshiping, etc are all works that point toward Salvation.
A Christian and an Atheist should have different goals when helping the poor, etc. Supporting Medicaid Expansion is not a work pointing towards Salvation even though many of the my liberal friends think it is.

But wouldn’t that also include feeding the hungry; clothing the naked or giving drink to the thirsty?

The things we do out of pure love for others, and for Yehova are our good works. From those works naturally flow our obedience to the rest of the commandments.
