If You Are a Thrifty Shopper:
Jewish Family and Children’s Service has a thrift store boutique
in Northeast Philadelphia that makes it a one-stop shop for holiday
shopping — and for volunteering.

Those interested can fill out an application on JFCS’ website, said
Robin Henkin, manager for volunteers and community engagement.

Volunteering shifts are typically during the day, as per the store’s hours.

But that isn’t the only way you can volunteer with the Jewish
Federation supported agency — though shopping is one of the
most important parts of the holidays, joked Suzanne Myers, JFCS
vice president of marketing and communications.

JFCS offers multiple ways to volunteer, including its Silver Wheels
program, in which volunteers can offer rides and other service for
the agency’s older adult population who might need more help dur-
ing this season. They may not be able to drive to pick up a medica-
tion, for instance.

“We have a lot of older adults that get very isolated and lonely
around the holidays, and we have a couple opportunities to help
them and help them stay engaged in the community,” Henkin said.

Even just volunteering your time to spend time with one of JFCS’
older clients is a great way to give, she said.

Volunteers also have the opportunity to get to know one another
while they receive proper training and tools in order to be effective
volunteers through workshops.

The workshops, called “The Joy of Giving...of Yourself,” will be
held on Dec. 3 in Elkins Park and Dec. 7 in Center City.

This is a perfect time to volunteer and give of your time, Henkin

said, because that’s a key part of this season.

“This is a time people want to give back, and many want to
give ‘Jewishly,’ which means to give of themselves and their
time,” Henkin said, “and they think about how fortunate they
are and often in counting blessings, they want to give back to
other people.”
Giving back to someone less fortunate, she continued, is a “won-
derful way to get to the essence of giving.”
