Middle School Chesed Hour Availability

SAVE THE DATE: OCTOBER 17 SUPER SUNDAY

Each year, the Jewish Federation of San Antonio (“JFSA”) raises funds needed to sustain Jewish life in Israel, around the world, and here in San Antonio. Annually, the JFSA allocates funds from its Annual Campaign to the EKA – last year we received more than $245,000.00!

The success of the JFSA Annual Campaign depends on volunteers. As a recipient of significant funds raised by the JFSA, the EKA should be active participants in the Campaign. And, the more successful the Campaign, the more the EKA stands to benefit.

We strongly encourage EKA 5th-8th grade students to volunteer for “Super Sunday” on October 17th. Sign-up sheets will be posted in the upstairs hallway for various jobs during 3 different shifts on Super Sunday: 9:00-11:30 a.m., 3:00-5:30 p.m., and 5:00-7:00 p.m.

There are also the following additional volunteer opportunities for 7th and 8th graders:

· Any Tuesday through 9/20 from 3:30-5:00 p.m. to help look up potential donors’ phone numbers in the JFSA office;
· Friday, October 15 – help decorate and set up for Super Sunday; and
· Any Tuesday from 3:30 -5:00 p.m. after 9/20 for various jobs in the JFSA office.

Help make the JFSA Annual Campaign successful, show the EKA’s gratitude for the funds it receives, and earn Chesed hours!
