    Description

    Join us in creating a warm, welcoming space for Holocaust survivors at our Forest Hills community social event!

    Event is from 11:30 - 1:30 pm; volunteer help is needed starting at 10:30 am. Both English and Russian speaking volunteers needed, as some of the clients are Russian speaking.

    This "coffee house" is a vibrant social event designed specifically for Holocaust survivors in our program, welcoming 50 - 60 clients. It provides a warm atmosphere for survivors to gather together for social connection, including food, music and caring supporters.

    Volunteers play a vital role by helping with setup, greeting clients, serving refreshments, and assisting with cleanup. Your caring and engaging presence helps us to foster a warm and friendly environment for this special population.

    Please email the Volunteer Manager for more information tgough@selfhelp.net
