While acts of kindness are not saved for one day a year, Volunteer Day is always very special thanks to those that plan, implement and get creative during the event.
Enthusiastic and talented volunteers of all ages participated in Adat Shalom’s ninth annual Volunteer Day, supporting many organizations throughout Metro Detroit. Working together to create more than 1,000 items to benefit those in need made it fun for all ages at the Farmington Hills synagogue.
Projects included creating no-sew fleece scarves, cutting plastic bags to make plarn (plastic yarn), assembling bag lunches and snack bags, baking dog biscuits for a local shelter, assembling baskets to help parents welcome their new babies, illustrating bookmarks, sorting books to donate and assembling activity bags for kids in the hospital.
While acts of kindness are not saved for one day a year, Volunteer Day is always very special thanks to those that plan, implement and get creative during the event. Everyone had a great time while helping to improve lives in our community.
