Jewish Volunteer Opportunities for Fall 2025
Give Your Time • Shaare Your Heart • Jewish Volunteering!
High Holiday Volunteering
High Holiday Tzedakah Collecting
We will again collect monetary donations to support The Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry, St. Louis Food Bank and Mazon: A Jewish Response to Hunger. We need volunteers to stand with the Tzedakah cans. This is a great opportunity for all ages.
High Holiday Food Drive Volunteering
We will have one group collecting the food in carts at the South Lobby (Sanctuary entrance) and another group sorting and boxing the food in the North lobby (main office entrance). Feel free to join services once the majority of the food is packed.
A Ride to Services, A Gift of Belonging
Help bring our seniors to Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services. By offering a ride, you’ll give the gift of connection and community at this sacred time. Sign up for a time and we will let you know if your kindness is needed.
The International Institute of St. Louis Needs Us!
Fridays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Immigration Advocacy & Action Committee
Four volunteers will go each Friday to assist with various projects that the Institute staff needs help with. This could include organizing supplies for educational programs, working in the food pantry, or assisting with the community bazaar. It may be different each week. There is no long-term commitment required; pick the dates that work for you. Volunteers can also choose to carpool from Shaare Emeth if desired.
For questions, please contact Sue Picus.
Oak Hill Elementary School
Oak Hill Elementary needs help setting up their new library. You will be assisting the Library Aide, Ms. Ewing, in organizing the new books and shelving them.
