Volunteer Opportunities

Caring Community Volunteers Needed

Our kavanah (intention) is to build a community that tends to each other's well-being, so we may all feel valued, embraced, and helped to feel whole when we need support, comfort, or assistance due to a death, an illness or other life changes.

Ways that the Shir Tikvah Caring Community supports our congregation:

• Shiva: Assist grieving members by taking care of hosting duties: We bring supplies, set up, greet guests, pass out and collect prayer books, then clean up when shiva is over so that the mourners are able to be with and comforted by those who have come to express their condolences. (Shiva training provided.)
• Meals: Prepare and deliver meals to members, who need support, such as those recovering from illness, after the birth of a baby, etc.
• Visits: Visit members who are in nursing homes, hospitals, or homebound and would like company.
• Rides: As we are able, provide rides to High Holiday services, medical or other necessary appointments.
• Cards: Send cards and to community members in times of need to let them know they are in our thoughts. (Prompts for what to write are available.)

To be part of the Caring Community, contact Michael Bahr, Caroline Schultz or Ray Anschel

Garden Volunteers Needed

We invite members to participate in the mitzvah of transforming our grounds!  Sign up for 1 or more two-hour shifts over the summer.  This is a perfect family activity for parents and children, ages 12 and up.  No prior experience required, just a willingness to sweat and get a bit dirty.
