MITZVAH DAY

MITZVAH DAY
Sunday, May 31, 9 a.m.–1 p.m.

On Mitzvah Day, volunteers of all ages will work together to perform acts of social responsibility and kindness – fulfilling our shared obligation for tikkun olam, repairing the world.

Join us Sunday, May 31 at 9 a.m., at Beth David Synagogue to kickoff Mitzvah Day with registration, breakfast and a group photo. This is your chance to meet fellow volunteers and check out the variety of projects you can choose from. The best part? You don’t need to sign up in advance—simply show up, grab a bite to eat, and pick your favorite project!

The Jewish community has adopted a park — now let’s keep it beautiful! Join us to pick up litter, pull weeds around the playground, and tidy the creek. Bring the whole family for this kid-friendly opportunity.

 

A SIMPLE GESTURE

Looking for a hands-on way to help? Join us in swapping tags on A Simple Gesture’s donation bags—a small task that makes a big impact! These bags help stock the shelves at the David D. Frazier Food Pantry at JFS.

 

KELLEN FOUNDATION
HOPE HUB

The Kellin Foundation’s new Hope Hub needs YOU! They’ve just received a donated space and are getting it ready for clients. If you're great at organizing and cleaning, this is your chance to make an impact.
 

PEACEHAVEN COMMUNITY FARM

Peacehaven Community Farm brings people of all abilities together. As a volunteer, you’ll work alongside residents to create felted soap and dryer balls, enjoy fun games, and learn about life on the farm.

 

AUTHORACARE COLLECTIVE

Help clean up the gardens at the Hospice house to create a peaceful environment for patients and families at the end of life. Clean out bird houses, pull weeds, and trim bushes at this meaningful Mitzvah Day location!

“Tzedakah and acts of kindness are the equivalent to all the mitzvot in the Torah.”
