Community Opportunities
How can Adath Shalom members help in the local community?
Community Mitzvah Month
Join other members of Adath Shalom at CommUNITY Mitzvah Month sponsored by Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ. Since we are still unable to come together for a single community-wide day of service, Federation is offering a month's worth of mostly virtual volunteer opportunities.
From March 16 to April 16, 2021, there are 16 ways in which everyone can make a difference in the lives of others! The month of kicks off with a Passover Food Drive with a goal of collecting 550 bags to help various food pantries and organization in our community.
