Neighbors in Need

Please reach out to these volunteers to get involved or to learn the project’s status due to the pandemic.

A Wider Circle

Homes Not Borders

Supporting Children Entering Foster Care

Who: Adults, teens, families
Where: At the Temple, at your home, or elsewhere
When: Throughout the year
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.
Rebuilding Together Montgomery County

Who: Adults, teens ages 14 and older
Where: Montgomery County, MD
When: Last two Sundays in April and first Sunday in May
TBA Contact: Roger Rothman
Help repair the home of a low-income family in Montgomery County by working alongside other TBA members. Due to the pandemic, TBA is currently unable to support this program, but please check back here for future updates. We will also communicate about future projects in Temple emails.
Jewish Foundation for Group Homes (JFGH)

Who: Adults, teens, families
Where: At TBA or occasionally at a JFGH home in the Rockville area
When: Throughout the year
TBA Contact: Charlotte Zuckman
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.
