 B'Nai Tikvah food donation

Thank you to B'nai Tikvah for donating and stocking 40 bags of food to Jewish Family Service Food Pantry.

Visits by Volunteers & Rabbinic Interns

 

Those in our Jewish community who are homebound, hospitalized, or live in skilled care communities look forward to caring, friendly visits from volunteers with Jewish Visiting Initiative: The Bikur Cholim Project of Jewish Family Service.

 

But sometimes more than a social visit is needed.  Through the Pastoral Care Program, a collaboration of Jewish Family Service and Hebrew Union College, a Rabbinic student intern will visit the homebound and isolated who are not affiliated with a congregation.

 

To volunteer or to schedule a visit,

call us at 513.469.1188
