Community service, along with the grants program, is the very essence of our giving circle. The two activities are connected because our service is offered on a regular basis to our grant recipients. We welcome both members and non-members to participate. It is a wonderful way to bond with warm, caring and intelligent women who are willing to give a few hours of their time for the needs of others.
These are just a few of the volunteer activities, over the years, that have served our grant recipients:
A Wider Circle
For this charity that aids individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness, we help clients select toys and clothes for holiday gifts at AWC's Santa's Workshop/The North Pole. In addition, we have made Thanksgiving food baskets for families and helped clients of AWC's Professional Development Center acquire suitable clothing for employment.
Nourish Now
Giving Together members and friends pitch in to help the Nourish Now staff sort, package and re-distribute surplus fresh food to those in need.
​
Interfaith Works
We've prepared and served meals for the women staying in Interfaith's shelters, sorted clothing at its clothing center, and mentored Interfaith's clients to get ready for job interviews and placement.
Help us serve our community better.
Volunteer!
Our volunteer activities expand the impact of our grants. We offer community service to all of our non-profit grant recipients. In this way, we stay connected to these groups and the community.
Volunteer activities are open to members and non-members alike. If you would like to become involved in the work we are doing, here are some options:
​
-
Volunteer for a project
-
Lead a service project with one of our grantees
-
Serve as a liaison with one of our grantees
If you would like to volunteer with Giving Together grantees, please contact our Community Service co-chairs, Pam Feinstein and Harriet Shugerman. ​
