Sundays, December 21 & January 18

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!

The confirmation photographs that once lined the halls of Park Main have come down, but their legacy remains. While you can now view all photos digitally on the screen outside the sanctuary, we still need to carefully preserve the originals.

The Cleveland Jewish Archives is looking for volunteers to help prepare over 100 oversized photos for donation to the Western Reserve Historical Society, where much of Park’s history is archived.

🛠️ What’s involved:
– Removing photos from frames
– Taking off backings and glass (with care!)
– Organizing the photos in chronological order
– Light tools may be needed (screwdrivers, pliers)
– The work isn’t hard, but it may get a little dusty

A small group can complete this meaningful project in just a few afternoons.
