Volunteer Drivers needed for Seniors

Consider offering a senior a ride to or from the JCC when you come to workout, drop off your children, or take a class. Volunteer drivers are being sought to help seniors who are unable to get to the JCC for their daily activities, and often sit at home alone.

Do a mitzvah and help someone today!

Call Melanie Rubin, ext. 1141, to put your name on the list for when this new program begins.
