Hundreds of infants, children, and teens are placed into foster care on an emergency basis each year in Montgomery County. Most leave home or school in a hurry and cannot take anything with them. The children may also have to wait in a Child Protective Services social worker’s office before being placed into emergency foster care. The Tikkun Olam Committee and WTBA hold programs throughout the year to collect items needed by these children. Please watch for Temple announcements of the need for volunteers and donations. 

Who: Adults, teens ages 14 and older
Where: Montgomery County, MD
When: 2021: September 12 and 19:

Join fellow volunteers in working one-on-one with a group of JFGH women residents from multiple group homes for an occasional afternoon of crafts and fun at the Temple. Help residents with a craft project, play bingo, and enjoy a snack on a Sunday afternoon. Volunteers also are needed to plan and lead these projects. TBA also hosts JFGH residents at Spirit of Shabbat Services periodically at the Temple, and volunteers are needed to greet the JFGH women residents who come and accompany them at the services and Oneg.
