MITZVAH MONTH: November, 2024 -- THE PLAN
Serve your community in-person this Fall. These are some of the many ways we will make an impact on our community with our volunteer options --with family-- or with the CGOH family at the 2024 events during the month of November.
We will learn something AND, most important of all, help our community!
Find something you feel would fit your passions and capabilities.
Selected a numbered Mitzvah Month Activity- dates through out November, 2024
Please call the Office
OR using a google Drive form--- register here for the activity you/ your family will do & be certain to tell us if you will join us for lunch!

Thank You!!
Rotterdam Community Center- help with financial support to best meet the community needs. The Bread of Life Food Pantry (3 times /month)and the free produce pantry Fridays at 4:30 are making a difference and the needs are growing greater. Also offered: Support groups and self improvement classes, movie nights, coffee house events and educational sessions and more! In the works, housing for those in need, but that all takes support and funding. Help how you can!
Coat Drive- Bring warm coats for those in need (We'll collect in our LOBBY).
Funds can be donated for future Mitzvah Days to the Wachenheim Mitzvah Day Fund on our donation page www.cgoh.org
Food (canned or boxed) can be donated IN OUR LOBBY or to any Food Bank or group that helps locally. Many of these will also be collecting warm clothing and Coats for our cold winters.
Sycamore Collaborative is very near and dear to us. 
As is the Shalom pantry 
The Regional Food Bank is listed above in #2
