Join Jewish Miami for the 17th Annual Everything but the Turkey

Give back this Thanksgiving holiday by participating in the 17th Annual Everything but the Turkey, hosted by Federation’s Jewish Volunteer Center in Miami Beach on Sunday, November 16 at 2 p.m. and in South Dade on Thursday, November 20 at 6 p.m. Both family-friendly events will assemble Thanksgiving meal kits that will serve people in need. This year, we’ve organized two additional ways to participate.

Or on Wednesday, November 12 at 11 a.m., make Shabbat meals for homebound older adults at Chabad of Pinecrest and Kendall. Click here to learn more and to RSVP soon as space is limited!
