Performing community service is closely tied to the Jewish value of tikkun olam (repairing the world), which encourages us to make a difference in the lives of others and in our world.

Examples of JCC Cares projects include packing school supply kits for children, visiting kids and teens in local hospitals or older adults in nursing homes, improving neighborhoods or local facilities, through such programs as Habitat for Humanity; or making Surgi-Dolls for pediatric patients at medical centers and hospitals.
