Volunteer at TBEMC

There are so many ways that you can become an active part of our community, and so many opportunities here at TBEMC for you to share your time and talents!

The We Care Committee always welcomes volunteers!

There is no volunteer commitment too small: spend a few minutes a week reaching out by phone to members in need or devote an hour or more to helping our community in other ways. We Care’s goal is to enlist enough volunteers to offer the following services:

  • Home visits – make home visits to people who are or have been ill, suffered a loss or are caregivers who need someone to talk to
  • Hospital visits – visit in hospitals, nursing homes or rehab facilities
  • Bereavement – prepare shiva home, make shiva visits, comfort and support members during times of loss – this may require telephone calls and/or visits
  • Drivers –drive to doctor or therapy appointments, to TBEMC on Shabbat
  • Baby Connection – reach out to new moms and dads with support and information about Jewish rituals for newborns
  • Phone calls – reach out to people who need a “We Care Connection”
  • Meal makers – prepare meals in the TBEMC kitchens for those needing support
  • Shoppers – run errands for people who need short term assistance
  • Monetary donations, providing goods or services
  • Running community events on relevant topics

If you are interested in volunteering please complete the volunteer questionnaire, available in the temple office or from the online the bulletin, and contact us at wecare@tbemc.org or through the Temple Office.
