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 announcements of the need for volunteers and donations in Temple emails.

Who: Adults, teens ages 14 and older

Join fellow volunteers in hosting several JFGH women residents for an afternoon outing of crafts and fun at the Temple. Help residents with a craft project, play bingo, and enjoy a snack on a Sunday afternoon. Volunteers are also needed to help host JFGH residents at Spirit of Shabbat Services periodically at the Temple. We also occasionally go to one of their group homes for holiday celebrations.
