In-Person MLK Jr. Day of Service – POSTPONED from Monday, January 17 due to impending weather conditions
Monday, January 24 | 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM | $8 per person

Spend your Day of Service with the Delivering Good Network at the Bender JCC! We will be putting together Oral Care Kids for Comfort Cases and Manna Smart Sacks for MCPS Elementary Students.

Comfort cases provide children, ages infant -19 years old who are entering the foster care system, with a bag filled with essential needs as well as comfort items. We will be making a kit of toothbrushes and other oral care essentials for the children.

In partnership with MANNA and the Montgomery County School System, we will help fill the weekend meal gap for students. Volunteers will help organize and pack bags with shelf-stable items that will be handed out by local elementary schools.

Your ticket price covers the cost of the supplies! SSL hours available.

This event will be held outside and socially distanced in accordance with Montgomery County guidelines. Children over 2 will be required to wear masks. Children 15 and under must be supervised by an Adult.

The Delivering Good Network is the Bender JCC’s centralized and sustained effort to engage volunteers in doing critical social action work in our community. It focuses on 5 key areas of impact: Hunger, Housing, Immigrants, Environment, and Inclusion.

We are proud to present the following volunteer opportunities to assist with our projects. This is a fabulous opportunity for families, teens needing SSL hours, and anyone looking for ongoing Tikkun Olam (Healing the World).
