Caring Community Sign-Up
2013 - 5774
We invite you to be part of SWFS’s vision to expand the ways we care for, comfort, and support one another in times of need and in times of joy. We want to promote a culture in which a lot of us give a little to reach out to one another and SWFS becomes a comfortable place to turn when we can use a helping hand. One meal, one errand, a friendly visit, or a few hours of family care in time of need are a small commitment you can make to make a huge difference. Please complete this form to let us know what you can do to help us grow together as a caring community. Share the mitzvah with us. Indicate what you can do to help create a caring community.
