Volunteering together is a meaningful way to connect with your community and each other. Whether you’re organizing a team-building activity, gathering friends and family, celebrating a milestone, or looking for a hands-on way to give back, JFS offers group opportunities that turn your time and energy into meaningful support for our neighbors.
Our Volunteer Engagement team can help you find an experience that fits your group’s interests, size, and availability. Unlike individual JFS volunteer positions, groups do not need to complete a volunteer interest form before getting started.
Have one representative from your group contact our Volunteer Engagement team at [email protected] or (858) 637-3050.
Help neighbors experiencing hunger by participating in a Challah Bake! You’ll learn how JFS addresses food insecurity while you bake challahs for shoppers at Lieber’s Corner Market—a unique on‑campus grocery where families select healthy food using points based on household size. This meaningful experience is ideal for birthday parties, team‑building, volunteer groups, or anyone who wants to give back.
Bring your group together to help make dinner a little more welcoming for individuals and families experiencing homelessness through the JFS Safe Parking Program.
At JFS-hosted dinners, volunteers can greet guests and help serve a meal prepared by the culinary team in the Loonin Family Kitchen, creating an evening centered on dignity, connection, and community.
