VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Volunteer Opportunities
abound with JFS. Help by mentoring at risk youth working toward their
GED. Participate in special projects
including: preparing Meals that Heal or offering a Holiday Helping Hand for
families during the winter holidays. Volunteers can also assist
an older adult by connecting with them through phone calls, friendly
visits or running errands through our Shop for a Friend
program. Assistance in office work is always appreciated. Our
receptionist wears twenty different hats; assisting her with answering
phones, handling data entry and filing would be marvelous! And of
course, assistance is always needed for our gift basket program in which
creative individuals can assist with assembling and wrapping baskets or
delivering the baskets.
JFS also
values donations for vulnerable families including:
-
Small-portioned
frozen meals or soup to stock our mitzvah pantry
-
Gas cards, phone
cards, and gift cards for clothing and school supplies
-
Wheeled carts to
transport baskets and supplies
