LEARN HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED
WED, SEP 27 AT 7:30 PM (ONLINE)
Join Cantor De Lowe and Rabbi Spratt, by zoom, on Monday, September 27th at 7:30 pm for a short presentation to learn about the many ways our CRS community joins together to perform Tikun Olam. Fellow congregants will describe the volunteer work they pursue with passion.
Who We Are
CRS clergy, staff and congregants who work together to help to repair our world. We are people of all ages from a variety of backgrounds who find comfort in collaborating with like-minded souls on issues we are passionate about.


We have a long history of housing the homeless, feeding the hungry, comforting the sick, welcoming the stranger and helping the needy. We also believe in the importance of advocating for change to address systemic problems in our society.
RAPID RESPONSE
The Little Shop of Kindness
Volunteer at The Little Shop of Kindness (12 West 40th St). Student volunteers have returned to school and staffing levels are low!
The Little Shop of Kindness offers free clothing, toys and books, has a lawyer available and will have a shower van parked by the store for asylum-seekers use.
Volunteers are needed to help sort clothing as well as assist migrants by guiding them through the store and being their “personal shopper.”
Volunteers can sign up for open shifts at the store on Team TLC’s website.

Direct Service
Make a difference in someone’s life.
For over 10 years, CRS members have been packing and delivering backpacks of food to meet the great demand of food insecurity. While many school-aged children are eligible for free breakfast and lunch during the week, these benefits don’t extend into the weekend or school breaks and many children simply do not have the food they need.
Help empower girls and women at Days for Girls, a grassroots non-profit organization that makes and distributes reusable, sustainable feminine hygiene kits to over one million girls and women in New York City, around the country, and abroad. Overseen by Sisterhood, You do not need to know how to sew to participate. This is a great parent-and-child (age 12+) opportunity.
Asylum seekers living in NYC shelters are unable to cook their own meals and have no space to just hang out. Join us as we welcome our neighbors for lunch at CRS, offer some social services for them and their kids and give them a safe space to relax.
