What do volunteers do on December 25th?
Amazing acts of kindness! Teams of volunteers, supplied with gifts, desserts, games and crafts (organized by the Washington DCJCC), go to one of more than 50 social service agencies in the DC Metropolitan Area. Your group may throw a party for the residents at the Center for Creative Non-Violence (CCNV) or serve a meal at Miriam’s Kitchen. Senior homes often ask volunteers to run a game of bingo, visit with the residents, or serve lunch. Hospitals look for volunteers to visit patients in their rooms, or, in the case of children, to visit a group in a playroom. Volunteers also paint community centers and schools. Most volunteers help out in the community at a social service agencies; while others stay at the Washington DCJCC with activities based there. See Project Listings for a detailed description of the most recent Service Project’s. The volunteers work may start at dawn, mid-morning or in the afternoon. Most projects range between 2 and 4 hours. You can pick a project that will fit
