Caring Community

The Caring Community is an opportunity to strengthen our ties to one another  by offering and receiving comfort, support and help.

We are made up of volunteers who are here to assist our Temple members as needed. Our activities include:

• Preparing homes for shiva (bereavement visitations) after a loss.
• Driving people to appointments and to Shabbat Services
• Visiting the sick, sending meals to homes, grocery shopping
• Matching mentors to those going through life changes

You can help us by letting us know when you or someone you know needs help and could benefit from any of these services, and/or by signing up for our volunteer list so you can be notified when help is needed, and then agreeing to help when you are available.
 

Please email caring@oakparktemple.org or call the Temple office at 708-386-3937.
