Social Action

Congregation Beth Shalom provides a regular schedule of social action programs for members of all ages.  These volunteer activities help fulfill our Jewish responsibility to improve our community and the world. For additional information contact Linda Sander or 913-647-7269.

 

Examples of our social action activities include:

 

  • Delivery of excess crops from Kansas City farms and orchards to local food pantries, including Yachad, Kansas City’s kosher food pantry.
  • Collecting school supplies and clothing to benefit children and adults in the metropolitan area.
  • December Outreach, where congregation members volunteer at local service organizations so that others can more fully enjoy their traditional December holidays.
  • Holiday Adoption, where volunteers collect gifts for distribution to families who would not otherwise have gifts to share and enjoy.
  • Mitzvah Day, when individuals or families perform maintenance at local homes or organizations to benefit those who cannot do the work themselves.
