Meals with a CauseThere are currently 5 projects for volunteers to assist with opportunities under the Meals With A Cause category.

  1. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
