A Wider Circle also welcomes donations of furniture and household goods in good condition, as well as business clothes and accessories for those applying for jobs.

Many other opportunities, both one-time or ongoing.

Supporting Children Entering Foster Care

When: Throughout the year

TBA Contacts: Judi Goozh or Robin Temin

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.

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.
