Volunteer Opportunities

I-HELP

Volunteer to Feed the Hungry!

I-HELP is an acronym for Interfaith Housing Emergency Lodging Program. It is a Tempe Community Action Agency program that partners with several faith communities, clubs, and organizations to combat homelessness. Temple Emanuel is responsible for planning and preparing dinners and lunches for the first two Sundays of each month. 

Jim Flegenheimer, Temple Emanuel I-HELP coordinator, is looking for volunteers (specifically, groups of individuals) to cook and serve food (children are welcome, but should be 12 or older) on the following Sundays:

October 6

Specific locations in Tempe will be provided by Jim when your volunteer day is confirmed.

Please consider volunteering your time to perform this mitzvah!
