Spotlight On: Summer of Service

 

Come join the Summer of Service!

President Obama has announced a summer initiative to encourage service in America and is calling on Americans of all ages to take some time this summer to make a difference in their communities. Jconnect is here to help you find a meaningful project for yourself, your family, or your group. Together we can reach out and repair the world!

Service Opportunities throughout the Greater Washington area include:
• Spend time with frail seniors, help them with shopping, or deliver Kosher Meals on Wheels
• Celebrate Shabbat, take a walk, have a BBQ or just visit with Jewish Foundation for Group Homes residents
• Help beautify our parks by cleaning up and weeding invasive plants
• Prepare food for the homeless
• Organize a food, clothing, or school supply drive
