Support Squad

(formerly known as Chesed Committee)

Taking care of each other is a fundamental social value in the everyday lives of Jews.

To meet that need, we have created the Support Squad, a group of volunteers who will strive to make the lives of our community better by attempting to help in times of need, whether it be a time of sadness, illness, joy or change.

All inquiries and requests for assistance will be treated as confidential. 

Please Consider Becoming a Volunteer. 

It will require only a few hours of your time and can make a significant and positive difference in someone’s life. Some of the tasks that we will be asking our volunteers to perform may include:

• preparing ( or purchasing) and delivering a meal
• dropping off a challah
• grocery shopping
• writing notes of congratulations or condolence
• visiting the sick
• making a phone call to someone who is ill
• doing a specific errand or chore
• support after a death or life change

For more information or to volunteer please call (617) 332-7770 or contact us at supportsquad@mishkantefila.org
