Example:
I would like to coordinate a synagogue volunteer trip to the Pilsen Food Pantry. Due to Covid-19, many families are struggling financially, and this food pantry provides fresh produce and pantry items to those in need. I have spoken with the Pilsen Food Pantry on the phone, and they said I could reserve a spot for a volunteer group of 5–10 people on Sunday, April 10 from 3–5pm. My plan is to talk with the Rabbi so I can give an announcement during services and invite people to sign up for this volunteer opportunity. I will also design and print flyers to put up in the synagogue community room. I have already talked with some friends at synagogue and invited them to join. The main challenge I anticipate is how to get everyone to the Pilsen Food Pantry on Sunday. I will need to find a way to coordinate rides, but I think I can talk with some parents to see what is possible. My goal for this project is to involve the synagogue in the nearby community so we are not just serving each other, but also those around us. Also, I think it will be nice for youth and adults to get to know each other in a new setting. If this trip goes well, maybe I can continue to lead monthly service projects in our community.
If you answered "Maybe" or "Yes" above, please describe what you have in mind. Don't worry if you don't know all the details, just give us a ballpark estimate!
