Registration is now closed. Just show up at United Hebrew, there is plenty to do! Everyone is welcome.
Day is for everyone to work together in an effort to help those in need within our UH community and around the St. Louis area. The only requirement is a little bit of your time and a desire to make a difference. Below is a list of projects to choose from with the appropriate ages as well as the number of volunteers needed. This year we are having fewer projects, with the food assembly being a very large project that needs the greatest # of people. Projects will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis so sign up early!
