There’s Something About This Community (and that’s you)

JCC Cares is an opportunity for you to enhance your community experience and connection by taking the time to participate in social action service projects, educational experiences rooted in social justice, and ongoing opportunities to meet the needs of our community. In Jewish tradition, the act of Chesed (kindness or love between people) and Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World) are fundamental values held deeply to care for our neighbors and each other. 

JCC Cares Impact 2021-2022

Upcoming JCC Cares Projects:

Day of Remembrance Backpack Drive

Support the Day of Remembrance Vigil on November 17th, honoring the millions affected by road tragedies. This event raises awareness about the ongoing crisis, which has claimed over 50 million lives and impacted countless families and communities.

We’re collecting used backpacks to donate to the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition. These backpacks will be used during the vigil and then given to children in need. Your contribution helps shine a light on road safety and provides support to those who need it most. Learn more about the vigil by clicking here.
