Journey Center for Safety & Healing Dinners
Sundays, June 29 & July 20
Make (in your home) part of the Sunday dinner that Park volunteers provide for the residents of the Journey Center for Safety & Healing, a shelter for families that have experienced domestic violence. Sign up to make a veggie tray, salad, side dishes, fresh fruit, or dessert for the 20 mothers and 25 children at Journey Center, and then take it on the specified date to Journey Center Dinner Co-Chairs Wendy & David Firestone’s home in Beachwood, so the Firestones can then deliver the entire dinner to the Journey Center. Volunteers can choose to be reimbursed for the cost of their ingredients. This is a great family mitzvah project!

Greater Cleveland Food Bank's Healthy Choice Food Market
Thursday, June 19 • 1:30-4:00 pm
15500 Waterloo Rd., ClevelandThe Food Bank's Healthy Choice Food Market is relatively new and allows neighbor (food recipients) to select their own food instead of receiving a pre-packed or standard bag of groceries. Volunteers will help neighbors shop at the market and fill their shopping cart with nutritious food—fresh produce, canned goods, meat, dairy, and much more. Other volunteers restock food on the shelves or help neighbors take their bags of food to their cars. Volunteers will be given an orientation before beginning and should be comfortable working with people from diverse backgrounds.
Open to all Park members ages 14 & older. Volunteer as a family with your teens or young adults! Everyone who volunteers must wear closed-toe/heel footwear.
A limited number of volunteers are needed, so register soon! Registration is required through the Park website, Weekly Wrap or by emailing Ellen Petler at epetler@parksyn.org. Please let Ellen know if you would like to carpool to the project. Questions? Contact Ellen by email or at 216-371-2244 ext. 122.
Co-sponsored by Park’s Social Action Committee and Women’s Rosh Chodesh Group.
