Current Opportunities
Food Bank Farmers Market Volunteers
Volunteers will help the food bank collect donated produce at the Spotsy Farmers Market! Volunteers will be responsible for supervising our FRFB table to receive donations, and engage and encourage customers and farmers to donate fresh produce to be distributed to our neighbors in need. FRFB will provide additional instructions on how the donations will be transported and/or picked up by a partner agency or FRFB team member.
Every Saturday at the Spotsy Farmers Market from April 8th to November 18th

On a daily basis, many of us serve and give of ourselves without fanfare or recognition. We are a caring and loving congregation that lives up to the highest ideals of Judaism. Social action has always been an integral part of congregational life at Beth Sholom Temple. Our activities have exemplified the Jewish values of community engagement, service, justice, and peace. The role of the Social Action Committee is to stimulate and support the performance of mitzvot by our members, especially those that help others beyond the Temple community.
Thank you!
We appreciate everyone who makes Social Action's service to the community possible. Thank you for participating in giving back to Fredericksburg and showing others what Beth Sholom is all about!
