Your Thanksgiving Mitzvah: How to Help South Florida’s Jewish Organizations

Local community groups in South Florida are making it easier than ever this Thanksgiving to connect, give back, and make a difference. As the holiday approaches, many reflect on gratitude and family gatherings, yet nonprofits across the region are encouraging people to share that abundance with others in need.

“They want us to donate a few hours to help assemble a meal, knit a blanket, or write letters to our troops — all simple acts that can make someone feel less alone.”
