What is the Mitzvah Corps
Please call us if you need...
• A
ride to or from a doctor's appointment
• Food shopping
• Preparation of a
meal
• A friendly chat
• Aride to or from
services
We do community service as well. Our annual Mitzvah
Day involves hundreds
of congregants in a wide variety of social justice projects and events.
In addition to Mitzvah Day, we volunteer for service
projects within our
synagogue, Port Washington and greater Long Island community. We are about
reaching out and giving to those in need of support. Past projects included:
• Book drive for
a South Bronx school
• Cell phone
collection for victims of domestic violence
• Conducting
a mini-seder at the SPCHR
• Winter coat
drive
• Sorting and
packaging of food for LI Food Harvest
A new project is to reach out to congregants who would
like a ride to
Shabbat services. If you cannot drive or feel
uncomfortable driving at night, we
can easily give you a ride to synagogue and home again. Just call one of the
co-chairs listed below.
We welcome new members. Helping hands are always needed.
You do not need to
participate in every project, but there might be some things that you would
like to do to help.
Please call the temple office at 883-3144 or e-mail
the co-chairs to offer
your help or if you have any questions about the Mitzvah Corps.
