Temple Beth Am members are out there making a difference and you can too!

Lake City Meals for Homeless Individuals
Join fellow Temple Beth Am members, and members of Congregation Beth Shalom, on the third Sunday of each month to provide meals to homeless individuals. We provide hot meals, along with food to take with them the next day. We meet at Lake City Mennonite Church, located on 125th and Lake City Way. To volunteer, please contact Jo Merrick.

Teen Feed
Join with fellow Temple Beth Am members on the first Thursday of every month. We meet at the University Congregational Church on 4515 16th Ave NE, Seattle from 5:45-8:15 PM. To sign up, please contact Randy Simon. We typically feed 50–70 youth a complete meal. Learn more about Teen Feed.

YWCA Angeline's Center for Homeless Women
Join fellow Temple Beth Am members in making sack lunches for the women of Angeline’s Center. Join us on the second Sunday of every month in the Temple Beth Am kitchen from 8:30-9:30 AM. For more information, please contact Louisa Turner.

TDHS Homeless Shelter
The Temple De Hirsch Sinai Women’s Shelter hosts 10 homeless women overnight Monday through Friday nights in September-May. We need volunteers willing to drive the TDHS vans to get the women from Noel House and take them back to Angeline’s Center the next morning. Volunteers will also serve an evening snack and a light breakfast in the morning. For more information or to volunteer, please contact Myles or Megan Kahn.

YouthCare Orion Center
Join with Temple Beth Am members in providing dinner to about 40 homeless and in crisis youth on the 5th Wednesday of the month. The location is the YouthCare Orion Center located at 1828 Yale Avenue, Seattle. We create these meals by asking for volunteers to contribute particular items each month. To get involved with this project, please contact Susan Simon and learn more on the YouthCare website.

Temple Beth Am Knitzvah Knitters
Temple Beth Am Knitzvah Knitters kicks off a new year of knitting and crocheting the second Sunday of each month at Temple Beth Am! Join us from 10 AM - 12 PM for crafting, conversation and community. Please bring your handmade hats for our presentation of 100 hats to Warm for Winter. Hats should be made of washable yarn. Please email Vicki Warshaw or Suzanne Guon-Corner for hat patterns or more information.

Scargo Community Supper  

We provide a homemade to the formerly homeless residents of the newly renovated apartments at Plymouth Housing’s Scargo/Lewiston Building. This project arose out of a direct request for help when Temple Beth Am kids participated in a Mitzvah project there. Volunteers are needed to cook and serve supper the last Thursday of every month. Dinner is served at 4:00 and we are cleaned up by 5:30. Any level of involvement is welcome, from dropping off donations of food or money, cooking, serving or hosting a community cooking session. This is an opportunity for youth to volunteer.
