Mitzvah Maker Volunteers

A true example of caring...

The JFS Coordinator of Volunteer Services matches volunteers with persons seeking help. Performing good deeds to fulfill the Jewish tradition of Tzedakah is essential to our way of life. Volunteers are an indispensable part of Jewish Family Services.

By performing vital tasks you can supplement and enhance the Agency’s professional staff and transmit the warmth and concern of the community to those you assist.

There are many opportunities within JFS for your interests and abilities to merge with the needs of others. This results in a mutually rewarding volunteer experience. If you would like to help others, for whatever amount of time you can spare, please call JFS for more information.

Here are some of our programs where volunteers make a difference:

• Meals on Wheels
