Committee Reports

A big thank you to Lynn Shapiro and Phyllis Greenberg for the delicious dinners they generously delivered to the residents at Casa Valentina. The residents were thrilled and had enough leftovers for a second night's dinner.

 

This is a one-time "mitzvah" opportunity and means so much to the residents at Casa Valentina. If anyone would like to volunteer to bring dinner on July 16th, August 20th or September 17th, please contact me at suzbow33@gmail.com / (305)519-6134.


Thank you,

Susan 

This is a one-time "mitzvah" commitment. 

Thank You to the JCS Kosher Food Bank

for a Great Tour!

Thirteen NCJW Kendall Section members attended an informative and inspirational JCS Kosher Food Bank tour, learning what a terrific resource JCS of South Florida is for our community. This agency is truly our community safety net. They address mental health, counseling, nutritional support and case management to name a few. The primary services, (or mitzvahs) are the kosher food bank, shalom bayit (domestic abuse assistance program), senior services, Holocaust Survivor assistance program and refugee assistance program.


As of January 2017, JCS of South Florida assumed the operations of the Switchboard of Miami programs, which provides information and assistance for basic needs such as food insecurity, housing and shelter, legal assistance, clothing, and other free or low-cost resources. As Diane Tannenbaum said, “This organization truly exemplifies the meaning of Tzeduka!!”


Please join us in our Passover collection for the JCS Kosher Food Bank.
