HIGH HOLY DAYS MITZVAH OPPORTUNITIES

Volunteers are needed to pack and/or deliver High Holy Days boxes to fellow congregants. These boxes will be integral to helping our congregants create their own sacred spaces wherever/however they choose to worship this High Holy Days season. For a complete list of shifts and to sign up, please click here - and thank you!

Maot Chitim assists needy members of the Chicagoland community with Passover, High Holy Days, and other food-related needs so they may observe the holidays and daily life in a traditional and dignified manner. Volunteers are needed to deliver food boxes to Chicago residents on Sunday morning, August 29. The truck will be on site with the packages; volunteers deliver the food directly to the residents' doors. This is a wonderful mitzvah opportunity for all ages. Exact time of arrival will be emailed to volunteers prior to the 29th. Sign up here. Please contact Greg Miller with questions at gmiller@millersquaredinc.com.
