Giving your time and talents is a rewarding way to connect with our community.

 

 

MONTHLY VOLUNTEER DAYS

We are now offering Monthly Volunteer Days, where community members come together to lend a hand and make a tangible impact across Tidewater’s Jewish community.


Once a month, volunteers will gather at the Simon Family JCC on the Reba & Sam Sandler Family Campus to work on a variety of meaningful projects that support UJFT and our partner agencies. Tasks will change each month and may include:

  • Sorting food for the Jewish Food Pantry
  • Labeling books for the Jewish American Heritage Month project
  • Writing thank-you notes or assembling care packages
  • Organizing supplies for upcoming community programs
  • Stuffing envelopes or sorting camp t-shirts

 

Whether you can join once or every month, your time and effort make a real difference.
