There are times when everything changes.

The Jewish Volunteer Network (JVN) has created efforts to support the people of Israel as well as older adults in Cleveland during this horrific time. The following calls to action are directly based upon feedback we have received from our partners both locally and overseas as to what they need from us now, many of which can be done from your home. Please join us in service to show your support.
