Check out our new portal through Double the Donation to search for your company, and find out if your volunteer hours or financial donations could be matched! Direct any questions about matching gifts to elvera@jewishrelief.org. B'nai Mitzvah Service Projects Want to get hands-on experience while helping families in our community? A JRA B'nai Mitzvah Project could be perfect for you! Through 10 hours of service, students can participate in the following volunteer opportunities:  Pack and/or deliver at 3 JRA Food Distributions. Organize a kosher canned food or toiletry donation drive.  Create artwork for JRA recipients.  Customize your project for an even more meaningful and personal experience. After completing your project, JRA will honor you with a certificate of completion and a t-shirt! Ready to get signed up? Email Jenny at volunteering@jewishrelief.org. Caring Cards Send a smile in a box to a JRA recipient by making a homemade card! Cards received will be put in food boxes distributed each month. Use whatever supplies you have at home, like computer or construction paper, crayons, markers, paint, stickers, etc. Online coloring pages are a great resource! Once you complete your masterpiece, drop it in the mail to us and we will be sure to get it in the hands of our recipients.
