Retired? Have extra time on your hands? You can help! Do you have extra time on your hands that you're looking to fill in a meaningful way? If so this is perfect for you. We are in need of retired volunteers to visit homebound seniors in Boro Park, Bensonhurst and Sheepshead Bay. Visits are scheduled based on your availability. Just 1 hour a week is all it takes. If you can commit to visiting someone each week, this opportunity would be great for you. For more information please call Friendly Visiting (718) 449-5000 x 2205 or e-mail t.lieberman@jccgci.org. Just 1 hour a week really can make a difference in homebound senior's life.

The Jewish Community Council of Greater Coney Island is a 501(c)(3) private not-for-profit tax-exempt organization founded in 1973 to provide a wide range of social services to South Brooklyn's low income residents and to foster neighborhood stabilization. During the past decade the council has experienced extraordinary growth and became the central address for services of all segments of the population including the aged, the vocationally disadvantaged poor, refugees, and educationally at-risk youth. In addition, the council provides non-profit community based organizations with technical assistance in upgrading their management capacity.
