The Mitzvah Mall aspect of Community Impact Day is an amazing way for area youth and adults to know about all the incredible work that is taking place in Hampton Roads. Jewish Family Service serves and supports those in the community who are forgotten and vulnerable.
JFS is excited to be able to share some of its work, as well as share the space, with other nonprofits that are working for the same tikkun olam goal – healing the world through acts of kindness.
Stop by the JFS table at the Mitzvah Mall to paint rocks for its Jaffe Family Healing Rock Garden. A “donation station” will also be available to drop off a new, unwrapped gift for a child for its annual Chanukah Gift Program.
The Mitzvah Mall is a great opportunity to show the next generation of leaders and philanthropists the impact that even a small donation can make to ensure that the work continues and inspires a generous spirit for a lifetime. This day will be a coming together of much needed hope, fellowship, and service.
Kelly Burroughs is Jewish Family Service’s CEO.
