Volunteers needed to help Female Inmates in Danbury
From TBC Member Ronnie Ross: We desperately need a couple of volunteers to help with Friday evening visits to the FCI,
a low-security US federal prison for female inmates in Danbury. There are about 12 women
from area synagogues who visit the Jewish women inmates twice a month on Friday evenings.
As a working woman, I find this is the perfect volunteer thing to do, as it is in the
evening and only requires a little more than an hour of time per month (plus travel time).
Some women only go 4 or 5 times a year. And it's fun! The women at the facility are not dangerous or violent - and they are really nice!
Most are wives and mothers.
What we do: 2 volunteers go together and show up about 15 minutes before sunset.
Meet with anywhere between 5 and 15 Jewish women in a small room.
Say the appropriate prayers and light candles, drink grape juice, eat challah.
Discuss the week's parsha (if applicable to life today) or a holiday.
Some volunteers like to sing with the women.
Anyone who is interested can call me (203-438-2892)
or e-mail me ([email protected]) for more details.
