Project Our Town will be mobilizing teams of volunteers and sending them out into the greater Denver community to participate in a wide range of social action projects. This two-day experience will have a lasting impact, not only on many worthy organizations, causes, and individuals, but also the participants themselves. 

We are expecting 65+ projects and up to 1000 volunteers. You won't want to miss it!

There are so many opportunities to be involved - different types, and at many different commitment levels - starting now, and all along the way leading up to and during the project weekend. There is something for everyone! If you would like to be involved in the planning, please contact us!

NATE'S WAY

Debbie and Clint Burnette, one of our JTowner families, lost their son Nate to suicide on Yom Kippur morning at the age of 27. Nate was very passionate about caring for people in need, and had recently met a homeless man with whom he developed a very special friendship.

So, in his honor, Nate's family, friends, and our JTown community will be feeding the homeless in Civic Center Park on the 9th of every month and on Christmas Day.

Each year, suicide claims more lives than war, murder, and natural disasters combined. Yet suicide prevention doesn't receive anywhere near the funding as other leading causes of death. It's up to Walkers like us to make a difference. Together we can change the conversation about mental health and put a stop to this tragic loss of life.

Project Our Two/JTown has a team walking and wee should love for you to join us! To sign up, go to out Team page here: https://afsp.donordrive.com/team/ProjectOurTown

It is free to join us. Any donations are optional.

SERVICE: Join us for a meaningful lay-led Shabbat service in a welcoming, inclusive and participatory atmosphere.

Please let us know if you are interested in leading a reading or prayer! Prior to the Mi Shebeyrach and Kaddish, you will have an opportunity to say the names of any loved ones who are in need of prayers of healing, have recently passed, or for whom you are observing a yahrzeit.

DINNER: If you haven' been to one of our Shabbat Dinners yet, you are missing out. There isn't a quiet moment, there is home-made challah, and it's really heimishe (friendly, down to earth, familiar, with a sense of belonging).

We provide a catered dinner with a vegetarian option, challah, and dessert, as well as wine, beer and soft drinks. You don't need to bring a thing! 

Adults: $25 and $15/kids 4-12
JTowners: $20/adult and $12/kids 4-12

Come to just the service, just the dinner, or both. 

REGISTER HERE FOR DINNER!
