More Mitzvah Project Ideas from the students

As the summer begins to get underway, there may be some extra time to involve the family in mitzvah projects. Below are some more ideas from the students in this year's Daled class who will become bar/bat mitzvah next year.

David plans to collect old soccer cleats, soccer jerseys and soccer balls and send them to Israel for kids to use there.

Rebecca is planning to spend time at Foodshare, helping to ready food for delivery to shelters.

Matthew wants to work with kids with learning difficulties.

Eva is thinking about donating toys and food to ASPCA and volunteer there as well. This organization is involved in the protection and safety of animals.

Sammy has lots of ideas! She is interested in volunteering her time in schools or with animals or collecting clothing or other items for the poor.

Shawn is considering spending time with seniors at a retirement home.

Morgan loves animals and would like to volunteer at an animal shelter or at the stables of Ebony Horsewomen in Hartford.

Melissa may volunteer at the Hebrew Home and Hospital.

All these are great ideas and worthy endeavors. Check out the links of the various organizations listed. Thanks to all the students for their thoughtful ideas on how they can help the community.
