With everything going on in the world right now, it’s easy to feel helpless and unsure of how you can make a difference in the lives of the countless individuals who are struggling during these times. During Good Deeds Days, organized by Federation’s Jewish Volunteer Center (JVC), you can support vulnerable populations right here in our community. In partnership with Repair the World and the Arison Family Foundation, Good Deeds Days offers a full range of hands-on service opportunities.
Participants can distribute food at one of Federation’s Free Kosher Food Distribution Drive-Thrus; tend crops at an urban garden; make sandwiches for those experiencing food insecurity; and deliver Passover food baskets during Jewish Community Services of South Florida's annual Matzah Mitzvah.
