Outreach
At CSS, our caring community develops programs that integrate loving-kindness into the lives of our members in times of joy, sorrow, and transition. We also aim to involve our members in the local community through joint programs and collaborative relationships with other groups and organizations.
Ongoing Outreach Programs:
- College Connection —sustains a connection between CSS, our college students, and their parents by sending care packages several times a year during Jewish holidays including Rosh Hashanah, Chanukah, and Purim. To sign your child(ren) or grandchild(ren) up to receive these packages of tasty treats, please e-mail Carrie Blasband with their names, school address, and expected date of graduation at office@shaareshamayim.org.
- Christmas Cookie Project — During the holidays, we bake and deliver hundreds of cookies to our hard-working emergency servicemen and women.
- Mitzvah Meal Project — During difficult times, sometimes a simple home-cooked meal can be heartwarming. Contact the office to make an occasional meal, or deliver one, to a congregant in need.
- Northeast Coalition for Jewish Life and Learning — is a partnership of seven institutions in Northeast Philadelphia that aims to inspire our community to take part in Jewish life. We offer free learning opportunities, transportation for seniors, and joint-programs.
- Schalach Manot — is a traditional gift baked and delivered to our congregants on Purim Day.
Interested in volunteering? We are currently looking for volunteers for a variety of projects. Please contact Carrie Blasband at 215-677-1600 ext. 504 or at office@shaareshamayim.org for more information.
