For two decades each spring, Jewish Family Services, Temple Emanuel, and Beth David Synagogue have collaborated to organize a day of service called “Mitzvah Day”. In partnership with organizations as the SPCA, Victoria’s House, the International Resource Center, Backpack Beginnings, Wesley Long, Operation Bedroll, Simple Gesture, and more, there is something for everyone. Or, participants can choose the “Create-Your-Own Mitzvah” option, and create their own mitzvah opportunities.
Would you like to visit an older adult who is isolated? Without the stimulation that social interaction and friendship provide, an isolated elder can experience poor health, a lack of strength and energy, depression, and other emotional, and mental health problems. Visits from our friendly volunteers can help change by providing socialization and a caring relationship.
Maintaining The David D. Frazier Food Pantry at Jewish Family Services is a community effort. There are many opportunities for volunteers and community groups to get involved. Weighing, sorting, shelving, and bagging are some of the many activities help that you and your family can do. Children love working in the pantry — and we are happy to include them.
For all Volunteer programs, contact the Volunteer and Program Coordinator at (336) 852-4829, ext. 227.
