Thank you Jewish Family Services Volunteers

 

The Jewish Community Alliance/Jewish Family Services thanks our fabulous volunteers for generously giving of their time and commitment to gemilut chasadim (acts of loving kindness) in the service of tikkun olam (repairing the world). It is through their support that JFS is able to fulfill its mission of reaching out to those in need in the Southern Maine community.

"You have got to give back. It's just part of life. What I enjoy is getting to know the people and seeing them on a regular basis. We have a rapport that builds up."          Carlyn Gilbert

 

When I made my decision to volunteer for Meals on Wheels I had no idea how profoundly moving this experience would be for me and what a blessing it would feel to be able to give. . . "     Rich Blumenthal 

 

It feels good to help people in our own community who need a hand. Small things that we may take for granted, like a bar of soap or a can of tuna, can make a big difference to someone else."     Kathy Edelman
