As an organization that thrives on volunteer efforts, we welcome your experience and knowledge in supporting existing Bet Aviv’s community efforts like Adopt-a-Road, Grassroots and the Soup Kitchen in Baltimore. Or if you would prefer, gather a new group to support your favorite cause -- at Bet Aviv there are sure to be others who will help. Whether you want to mentor a school child, beautify the environment, or assist in providing food for the homeless and needy, Bet Aviv has a place for you. |

Bet Aviv’s Social Action Committee is energized and committed to making a difference in our community both locally and globally. We have set in motion more than six initiatives for the year that will make our community stronger, healthier and, overall, a better place in which to live.
On tap are a number of familiar projects and a few new ones. You’ll see upcoming announcements about our work at the “Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen”, the classic food drive during the High Holidays, volunteering at a homeless shelter, and the Adopt-a-Road Cleanup. We've also contributed to individual appearls like "Nothing but Nets" to help prevent the spread of malaria in Africa.
We invite you to get involved with the Social Action Committee and fulfill that desire to make a difference! For additional information, please feel free to contact us.

We have created a fund that will be used to give one-time small grants to help needy people in the community. We will be ale to step right up and immediately help someone who might need help in paying, for example, for a prescription drug.
The Fund will accept gifts in honor of occasions or in memory of loved ones. Recognition noting that a gift has been made to the Fund in honor of someone will be sent to individuals or familes from the Fund.
Please consider honoring your friends who celebrate birthdays, or showing support for those who have experienced a family crisis by contributing to this worthy fund. Money for htis fund will come from donations from our members. To contribute to the Tsedukah Fund send a check to the Bet Aviv office. Please note the name and address of the person you wish to honor or remember.
