[/one_half] [one_half_last][/one_half_last][two_third]Serving Dinner at The Lewis Center, 1000 45th Street, West Palm Beach
-
- 3-4 volunteers from 5:30 - 7 on the 2nd Wednesday or the 4th Thursday of the month.
- In conjunction with the Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County, individuals identified as homeless but hopeful are enrolled in the 90-Day Rapid Re-Housing program. They live at the Lewis Center where they receive social, vocational and medical services to enable them to become employed and then able to transition into their own housing. This program is called "Breaking Bread, Breaking Barriers" and it enables our members to serve a dinner, cafeteria-style, which has been prepared and delivered to the Lewis Center.

- Soup for the Soul
- Soup For The Soul, a community-based volunteer effort to provide bags of nutritious soup ingredients to food insecure Palm Beach County residents, who create a healthy soup for their families. To date, we have provided food to over 5000 residents. Seeking volunteers to continue meeting the ever-growing need to feed our children and families. Questions: Laurie Alexander, Chair Soup for the Soul, Soup@ncjwpalmbeach.org
- Soup for Shabbat
- In partnership with Alpert Jewish Family Services, NCJW Palm Beach assists the food and financially insecure members of the Jewish Community. Every other month, NCJW volunteers provide 50 bags of Kosher-approved Lentil Vegetable Soup ingredients along with the soup recipe. These bags are distributed by AJFCS volunteers to their clients through their Kosher Food Pantry. The fresh and healthy ingredients are meant to create a delicious start to their clients’ Shabbat meal. Questions: Laurie Alexander, Chair Soup for Shabbat, Soupforshabbat@ncjwpalmbeach.org
- Cooking for Quantum House - Do you like to cook? Once a month, usually on the 2nd Monday of the month, volunteer chefs prepare (in their own kitchen) part of the meal for the children and families living at Quantum House. This "house" is similar to a Ronald MacDonald house which enables families to live right near St. Mary's Hospital which specializes in surgeries on children's limbs. A "home-cooked" dinner prepared by NCJW volunteers is always appreciated. More chefs are needed and the chairperson would love to involve another volunteer to help with the various aspects of this project. Questions: Elizabeth Harrison, qhouse@ncjwpalmbeach.org
