Join Central Synagogue's 20s and 30s group in welcoming Shabbat on the first Fridays of the month. To get the link and to subscribe to their newsletter, RSVP to Rabbi Dan.

Save the dates for First Friday Shabbats for the rest of the year:

• Friday, June 4

Repair the World is seeking a part-time Queens/Long Island Teen Program Coordinator. The Coordinator will work under Repair the World NYC’s Family & Youth Program Manager and report to Repair the World NYC’s Executive Director. They will take a leading role in expanding Repair the World’s work and launching new relationships in Queens/Long Island.

One of our favorite local groups is Astoria Fridges, community fridges that provide free, accessible food to the Astoria community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you have an excess of food, donate some to an Astoria Fridge near you (click here for a map of locations).

Astoria Food Pantry is located at 25-82 Steinway Street, and accepts donations (read details here).  As the world reopens and "normalcy" returns, donations to mutual aids have slowed down but their line is longer than it has ever been. In fact, AFP had to send folks away last week. They only have one week of funds remaining. Donate to help them get up to 3 weeks of funding!

If you would like to donate but going in-person presents a barrier, feel free to get in touch with Meredith, who is both a WJOA board member and Astoria Food Pantry volunteer.

With the weather warning up, what better way to get outside than to lend a helping hand? Here is a community service event coming up in our local parks!
