We still have several opportunities for you to make a difference in your community during the holidays and into 2023! We also invite all of you to share your thoughts about this important topic at our Social Action/Social Justice Listening Forum(part of our Culture of Belonging Initiative) on Sunday, January 8 at 2:00 pm. Our hope is for a plurality of voices expressing a multiplicity of opinions, leading to robust conversations.
We still have a few spots left for our December 24-January 1Family Promise Sinai Family ShelterHost Week! Temple Sinai provides the facilities and our members volunteer their time by providing dinner, miscellaneous supplies, overnight hosting, Saturday day hosting, helping the families move in and move out, and laundry.

The Community Assistance Center seeks volunteers to serve as tax preparers and greeters for CAC clients. Becoming a tax preparer involves an online IRS certification test- open-book with study resources and in-person support available. It does not require an accounting background: tax software and reference material are provided. Volunteers can sign up for shifts at two different CAC locations, Monday/Wednesday evenings and Saturdays during the day.
Volunteer Drivers for Afghan Refugees (Afghan American Alliance)
Our Temple Sinai Circle for Immigrant & Refugee Justice is working with the Afghan American Alliance to assist refugees from Afghanistan who were forced to flee their country.
We need volunteers to drive members of these families to appointments such as Visa applications, OBGYN check-ups, etc. The drives will probably take 2-3 hours.If you have the time and would like to volunteer, or if you have any questions, please contact the co-chairs for this project Peter Savitz and Linda Richman.
