Direct service opportunities are a great way to get involved in the tikkun olam work of Temple Sinai! These activities bring people together to meet other congregants and deepen their connection to the temple while doing important work in the greater community.
Below are some of our upcoming programs. The Davis Center is working to provide additional volunteer opportunities for our congregants so stay tuned and check our calendar for updates!
In addition to programs offered at Temple Sinai, we also offer regular opportunities to volunteer together with other members at local organizations in our community. These include:
Sunday, January 18, 2026 MLK Day of Service: We will have hands on projects for young families to complete. Past projects have included care kits for the unhoused, rice packing and trail mix making for food banks, placemat making for Meals On Wheels, planting flowers for the elderly.
Sunday, February 8, 2026 Volunteer at the DC Diaper Bank. We will help count and pack diapers. Time TBD.
Sunday, March 22, 2026 10am – 11:30 am, Lafayette Park Clean Up Playdate. We will have a fun, trash clean up and scavenger hunt around the park followed by time on the playground.
Sunday, April 19, 2026 Volunteer at the DC Diaper Bank. We will help count and pack diapers. Time TBD.

Several of the organizations receiving Lipman grants this past year have shared with us their needs for professional expertise. Some just need a pro bono consultation with an expert, others would like help on an ongoing basis. Needed areas of expertise include: human resources, web design, event planning, communications, fundraising, and more. To learn how you may be able to put your professional talents to work for good, please contact Anne Schwartz.
