- The efficient and hardworking teenage scouts from the Tzofirm Shnat Sherut Program without who we could have never completed the 200 Passover food packages for the New York Board of Rabbis. They made quick work of the task at hand and made it possible to send out the packages in time for Passover celebrations. We are honored to nominate them as April 2013 Volunteer of the month!
- Senior Lunch Program volunteer turned leader, Geoff Cutler has always stepped up when we put out a call for action and are in need of volunteers. He has left a lasting impression on the residents and participants of the Senior Lunch program who rely on his commitment and enthusiasm.
- Sandy relief volunteers Elisabeth Norment and Bella Wolf who have participated in countless recovery projects in the Rockaways. They have both shown incredible initiative and commitment to the tasks at hand. Elisabeth was a tireless volunteer, sanding down a large section of the house as well as cleaning up the waste under the house (no small feat!). Bella assisted two families with their Passover cleaning and took part in painting the Sandy-damaged hallway of the JCCRP ahead of their press meeting.
