You’ve been asking for it and here it is…more ways to volunteer with Yachad! In the next coming months we need an assortment of different people with particular skills. Please see below if you have what we need to help make a difference in the lives of our neighbors.
A Few Good Shleppers
Sunday, April 25th, 11am-1pm
Looking For: 5 strong men/women who enjoy manual team work and harkening back to the days of pyramid building. We are repairing the residences of the Latin American Youth Center and will be building a brick retaining wall on their back patio. We have bricks at one site but need help bringing them to the LAYC building. Email (Kendra@yachad-dc.org) to us to sign up. Spaces are limited.
Cloning Richard Feldman
Sometime this Spring
Looking For: 5-10 experienced Yachad volunteers that feel comfortable leading a group of volunteers on our work days. If you have been to our worksites, have basic/intermediate painting and handyman skills, and good people skills, we would love your help. We will be holding a training session sometime this Spring taught by Richard Feldman, our Construction Manager, in hopes of bringing on a few more project leaders. To sign up or ask for more details, email us (Kendra@yachad-dc.org).
Jewish Churchgoers?
Memorial Day
Looking For: 20 Yachad volunteers for a We the People work day at our new Faith-to-Faith partner’s church, The Rising Sun Baptist Church in Northeast DC. We will be doing mostly demo work, getting the house ready to renovate, so it can be a community space. If you like hitting and ripping things, this is your project. To sign up, go to our We the People page and fill out an application. Spots are limited.
Donate Appliances?
Looking For:
Electric Dryer
Gas Range
Have a Truck?
If you have a truck or a large van and some muscle, we are looking for volunteers to help pick up these donations and bring them to our homeowner’s houses.
Email or call if interested. (202) 296-8563
