Ways to Help

Ongoing partnerships and community service opportunities our members show up for, year-round.

Farmworker Association of Florida

When the food insecurity landscape changed drastically overnight, we were called to do more — especially to support farmworkers in Homestead, the people who pick our food. In partnership with Temple Israel and Beth Or, we collected enough groceries to support 145 migrant families facing constant uncertainty from shifting immigration policy.

Give Miami Day

A chance to witness the overwhelming generosity of our community, and an opportunity for every person to shape a Greater Miami we're proud to call home. As the financial fuel for over 1,000 nonprofits, it's The Miami Foundation's largest annual community-wide giving event.

Sweet Honey for ORT America

As the High Holy Days approach, we're reminded how important it is to reach family, friends, and business relationships with wishes for a sweet and healthy year ahead. Purchasing honey benefits the Center — a joint program of the Gordon School Parents Association and the Beth David Women's League.

JCS Food Drive

During Purim, our Gordon and Center families come together to collect for the JCS Food Drive. The JCS Kosher Food Bank is the only food bank in Miami-Dade County serving families who require kosher food — providing to more than 400 families, 70 Holocaust survivors, and 225 children annually.

P.A.C.T. — People Acting for Community Together

PACT uses the power of large, organized community to hold public officials accountable and create systemic change in Miami-Dade County. As a "direct action" organization, it hosts large community assemblies where public officials are encouraged to adopt solutions to serious problems.
