Lend a Hand This Holiday Season With JVC

Join Federation and our Jewish Volunteer Center (JVC) for Season for Giving 2024, offering hands-on opportunities to help meet needs throughout Miami and ensure that vulnerable individuals and families have a happy holiday season. The 17th Annual Jewish Community Volunteer Days offers a variety of unique activities and projects to get involved and give back to our neighbors. Whether you choose to celebrate Shabbat with residents of a local assisted living facility, read Chanukah books to Miami’s elementary-aged students, serve Christmas lunch to individuals and families at The Salvation Army or help children at Ronald McDonald House create special comfort bears, you will do good and feel good! Programming runs throughout the month of December and many of the opportunities are family-friendly. Season for Giving is one of JVC’s most rewarding, and popular, traditions.
