Yesterday we sent you our new “Connecting to MZ” email which will be coming out every Monday. We also sent an email about preparing for Passover. Today we send you this important message from our MZ Caring Community Team.
Dear Friends,

Our Caring Community of many volunteers has been supporting our congregation with meals, rides, visitors, and shiva support for years. During this challenging new time, the MZ Caring Community Team is expanding what we do and partnering with the clergy and staff to support you. While we need to be physically distant, we want to remain socially and spiritually connected. 

Here are some things we can do:

  1. Connect by phone: We can pair you up with someone to chat.
  2. Connect you with technology: We can set up Facebook, video conferencing (Zoom, etc.), online grocery shopping (Instacart, Shipt, etc.), etc. 
  3. Coordinate grocery shopping: We want to shop for anyone who is in an at-risk category so you can stay safely at home. This may involve using a delivery service. For everyone, here is a guide for food and grocery delivery services.

If you are able to volunteer for calling congregants and/or delivering groceries and medicines , please fill out this form .

If you would like to receive support from the Caring Community , please fill out this form .

As job loss and financial challenges begin to affect more and more of us, we will be working on this important help as well. For now, please contact the clergy if you need support.

Wishing you safety, health, and well-being,

Thank you,

Your MZ Caring Community Team

Ellen, Emily, Karen, Mandy, Robert, Sara, Steve, and Shai
