Cook and Serve at Hope Lodge with Chaverim and Knitzvah

Make it stand out

Join Chaverim and Knitzvah once a month in preparing a meal for 12-15 guests at the Hope Lodge in Burlington.   It is a place where cancer patients and their families can stay while they undergo treatment if they live more than an hour away from the hospital. The stay is free to them and includes nightly communal dinners.  The Hope Lodge increases access to vital health care as well as providing a community for support. It really is a special place that provides so much in a really challenging time. 

We arrive at the Lodge at 5pm so that we can serve dinner at 6pm. Volunteers are encouraged to eat with the guests as well and then help with clean up.  Everything usually wraps up around 7pm.  

Would you like to help bring light and cheer to those in our community who need support?  Sign ups for this date are full, but click the link below to email Chaverim to sign up for future opportunities!

About CJP:
Temple Sinai, in collaboration with Combined Jewish Philanthropies (CJP), is committed to building a highly engaged, interconnected Jewish community. CJP invests in the care and well-being of our community, the stability and growth of our local organizations, and in research, innovation, and collaborations that make a meaningful impact locally, in Israel, and beyond.

As part of this work, CJP created the Communal Security Initiative (CSI) to provide no-cost, professional security advice, services, and resources to meet the safety and security needs of the community through educating, engaging, and empowering them. CSI also encourages other faith-based organizations to attend our training programs.
