The Jewish Community Youth Foundation (JCYF) Youth Advisory Board and Princeton University's Center for Jewish Life participated in J-Serve, National Day of Jewish Youth Service and Areyvut's National Mitzvah Day. The J-Serve Mitzvah Day volunteers took part in five different community service projects. Participants had a great time visiting with the residents at Greenwood House – a Jewish Nursing Home in Ewing; creating jewelry, cards and welcome toiletry bags for HomeFront, whose mission is to end homelessness in Central New Jersey by harnessing the caring, resources and expertise of the community; baking muffins at Beth El Synagogue for the Kosher Café and Golden Agers, two programs where seniors can eat lunch, socialize and enjoy each other’s company; making casseroles to be donated to the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen; and shopping for food items for the Ohel Avraham Kosher Food Pantry at Jewish Family & Children's Service of Greater Mercer County.
More than 10,000 Jewish teens from around the country came together on Sunday, April 22nd, 2012 to serve their communities and make a difference. JCYF is administered by Jewish Family & Children's Service of Greater Mercer County and funded by the Ricky and Andrew J. Shechtel Philanthropic Fund and the Jewish Federation of Princeton Mercer Bucks.
