Love Your Neighborhood

We love our neighbors and welcome them home.

October is Love Your Neighborhood month. We would like to put this into practice by serving your community. We encourage everyone to serve in October & throughout the year. We have provided a list of serving ideas you can do on your own and we will post serving opportunities through JCC throughout the year.

Ways to Love Your Neighborhood

  • Laundromats – pay for someone’s laundry or gift them detergent
  • Teacher & staff appreciation – take snacks to your local school
  • Firehouses & police stations – take snacks or a meal to your local station
  • Mow an elderly neighbor’s lawn
  • Pay for someone’s coffee or meal
  • Provide water & snacks for your postal carrier or delivery person.
  • 2nd Saturday Community Clean Up – SW campus. Register
  • Serve at Golden Harvest Food Bank. Register
  • Serve at Sons of Consolation to put wheelchairs together. Register

We will also be selling t-shirts on Sundays in October! The shirts will benefit the Care Center on our South Augusta campus.
