JFVS seeks volunteers for 'Meals on Wheels'

Jewish Family & Vocational Service (JFVS) of Middlesex County urgently needs caring volunteers to perform a valuable "mitzvah," or good deed - delivering meals to homebound clients. It is also seeking substitutes to work on an on-call basis. Substitutes fill in for regularly scheduled volunteers who have either a planned or a last-minute absence. Prospective volunteers must therefore have a flexible schedule and be ready with only about one hour's notice. Routes are available in towns throughout northern Middlesex County, including Edison, Woodbridge, Highland Park and Perth Amboy.

The Kosher Meals on Wheels program is a weekday (Monday through Friday) service that provides two daily meals to seniors and disabled individuals who are temporarily or permanently unable to shop or cook for themselves. The meals are distributed to the JFVS office weekdays at 10 a.m. To volunteer, call E.J. Berman at (732) 777-1940.
