Opportunities From: Schoke Jewish Family Service of Fairfield County

Join us for the 5th Annual MLK Day of Service at Schoke JFS!

This year’s theme is “Mission Possible II,” and we’re inviting families across Fairfield County to help us make a real difference together.

Bring your kids, your creativity, and your big hearts as we pack Mission Kits and spread kindness throughout our community. Families can rotate through fun, hands-on stations, including:

• Kids’ Hygiene Kits – pack essentials for children in need

• Compassion Cards – create uplifting messages for seniors and survivors

• Art for Healing – design artwork that inspires comfort and hope

• “Share Your Dream” Video Booth – record your dreams for a brighter, more just future inspired by Dr. King.

This is a fun, meaningful, family-friendly volunteer event where everyone, kids, teens, and adults, can make an impact on our community.
