Volunteer Opportunities  

Social Action Committee Volunteer Participation Opportunities

HOMELESS OVERFLOW in AUGUST
Every August CBD is the overnight host each night in our social hall to many women, men, children and families who are homeless. For those who have participated in this very rewarding program you already know how worthwhile it is to provide a safe and secure place for families to sleep and to get to know the real face of our homeless community. We need 2-person host teams for each night to spend the night. Each person will be awake ½ the time to assist in any needs of our guests. We have a comfortable and private area for the team members to sleep. We are starting to formulate the calendar for the month of August so if you are available to commit to this great mitzvah please email Vivian Levy at jardinjunk@hotmail.com. Respond soon so that you can get your chosen date. We will also need a few on-call hosts to fill in if at the last minute someone has to cancel. And we will be needing snack donations and for our back to school kids we will be getting them new knapsacks and school supplies and shoes. Stay tuned for more ways to become involved and serve our community.
