Join CJE Metro and the CALM Foundation and Rescue for a meaningful, hands‑on volunteer experience connecting older adults from the community with residents of The SelfHelp Home! Together, we’ll assemble small, temporary shelters that help protect street cats across the city. Inspired by the Jewish value of compassion for animals (tz’ar ba’alei chayim), participants will work side by side—building connections, fostering purpose, and giving back. The CALM Foundation and Rescue will supply materials and place the finished shelters where they’re most needed. Come build, connect, and make a positive impact!

In preparation for Passover, Holocaust Community Services once again partnered with Maot Chitim to facilitate an intergenerational morning of service as part of our Mitzvah & Mingle programming! Survivors, together with students from Solomon Schechter Day School, collated materials for inclusion in Maot Chitim’s upcoming Pesach delivery, which will also contain food and other holiday supplies. Special thanks to Schechter’s Russian-speaking students who really made an effort to chat with our group. We appreciate what is fast becoming a semiannual tradition for our Survivors, who look forward to assisting in the warehouse and interacting with Jewish youth!
