JCV Sisterhood’s Back to School Project

IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN! Kids are returning to the classroom and so many of them lack the necessary school supplies needed to help them to be successful for the new school year.

The JCV Sisterhood’s next community service project is to collect a variety of school supplies which will be given to children whose parents cannot afford to purchase all of these necessities. We are asking our Sisterhood, as well as the entire JCV Congregation, to assist us in the collection of any school supplies that you are able to donate. This would include backpacks, notebooks, pens, pencils, crayons, markers, highlighters or anything else you can imagine.

A box will be placed outside the front doors of the JCV and you will be able to deposit your donation in it between the hours of 9:00am and 1:00pm, Monday through Friday. We will begin Monday, July 26, and continue through Friday, August 13. You will not have to come inside. If you are attending Shabbat Services, this would be a perfect time to bring those supplies with you. Stores are having wonderful sales right now. Providing the children with the tools needed for success is a mitzvah! They will be distributed to children in the Venice area.

ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR GENEROSITY! IT MEANS SO MUCH TO OUR COMMUNITY!

Thank you for Your Continued Support of the JCV

We have survived.
We have flourished.
So many have stepped up in this year of the pandemic.
We found new ways to do programming and invested in different uses of technology.
Now that we have returned to in-person services and events, we will bring with us the lessons we learned and our new ways of thinking.
But most of all, we will appreciate our ability to gather and connect in person.

Great things are planned for 2021 - 2022, including our 40th anniversary.
We encourage you to join us again, as a member of the JCV.
