Lotsa Helping Hands
Lotsa Helping Hands
Havurah's Lotsa Helping Hands network is coordinated by Adele Thompson and Janice Kettler.
Lotsa Helping Hands uses an online scheduling system that enables Havurah members to sign up for tasks to help other members going through challenging times. Tasks could include making and delivering meals, making home visits, and more.
A coordinator confers with the member requesting help and posts the important details on the Lotsa Helping Hands calendar. The network of volunteers receive an email alerting them to new requests. They can easily go to the Lotsa Helping Hands website to check the calendar, see what is needed, and sign up for individual tasks. Regular reminders are sent to volunteers who sign up, so no one forgets their commitments.
So, if you have a new baby, for example, and need a break, a meal, a shoulder to lean on, call us. Knee or hip surgery? Give your caregivers a break, get meals delivered with a smile, and maybe have a chat to pass the time. And if you know of a member who might benefit from this kind of extra help, let one of the coordinators know. Havurah members are there for you!
To become a part of the volunteer helper network, contact one of the coordinators: Adele Thompson or Janice Kettler.
To request that the name of a relative or Havurah member be said during the Misheberach (healing prayer) at Shabbat services, please use this form. You will need to log in as a member to access the form.
If you are a member of Havurah and have an urgent pastoral need, please contact Rabbi Benjamin at 503-248-4662 ext. 3.
