Thank YOU for considering lending your heart and talents to JFS!
We are always looking to add to our corps of volunteers to help respond to the needs in our community.
Here are some of the ways we need your help:
- Delivering kosher meals to homebound seniors
- Shopping for groceries – shop at one of three Albany Price Chopper stores and deliver to those who are temporarily or permanently homebound
- Driving a Jewish Senior – take a senior to a medical appointment, bank, hair salon, etc.
- Serving meals to Jewish Seniors (no cooking needed here)
- Making friendly outreach calls and performing acts of kindness
- Working in our administrative office
