Congregation Sherith Israel

Once a month on a Sunday morning, volunteers staff our Newman Hall kitchen to prepare and cook several days’ worth of meals for homebound seniors and people with disabilities or chronic illnesses. A short visit with the person receiving the meals makes this activity personal and rewarding. This program is a cooperative effort with Jewish Family and Children’s Services. Information: Nancy Sheftel-Gomes, 415.346.1720 x28

Our volunteers—adults and young people alike—prepare 100 meals that are delivered to two shelters in San Francisco. Information: Nancy Sheftel-Gomes, 415.346.1720, x28, or email Nancy.

Volunteers prepare meals to feed homebound seniors & those in need of healing, in partnership with JFCS. Contact: hamotzi@sherithisrael.org
