To learn more, contact JF&CS's Intake Dept. at 416-638-7800. Remuneration and training provided. (One parent per home must be Jewish; single-parent homes and GLBT homes welcome.)

Thanks for an AMAZING Mitzvah Day!
A huge Thank You all of our volunteers and committee members for an amazing Mitzvah Day. It would not have happened without you.
Together, here’s what we accomplished at Family Mitzvah Day:
- We made 11 blankets to be sent to children in Haiti
- We assembled 325 Kinder Kits to be sent to youth in Israel by Veahavta (backpacks filled with new school supplies and a card)
- We planted and decorated numerous plants and delivered them to the sick
- We made 18 care packages for Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan including cards, necessities and cookies baked at Mitzvah Day
- We packed and donated 14 boxes of books (with artistic dedication labels in most) to help create a library for a Native community in the Artic
- We assembled and decorated 67 birthday boxes for children throughout Toronto (to be distributed by Children’s’ Aid and JF &CS). Boxes included a gift, party supplies and cake and candles
- We painted and beautifully decorated 36 aprons for Out of the Cold
- We created a beautiful silk mural to be hung in Pine Villa
- 5 people generously donated 10 inches of hair so that wigs can be made for children and youth who have experienced medical hair loss.
Also, thank you to Baeck for the terrific and meaningful entertainment in celebration of these acts of kindness.
Together, we rolled up our sleeves to help out others, and had a great time doing it!
Get a Taste of Camp George!
October 15th-16th, 2010
Is your child hoping to go to camp but doesn't quite know what to expect? Or do you think they'd just enjoy a fun fall weekend up north with their friends? Try the "Taste of Camp George" weekend, coming up on October 15th-16th, 2010!
The program is open to students who will be in Grades 3, 4 and 5 next year. Students will be leaving for camp on a staff-led bus after school on Friday, October 15th and departing camp the following day, October 16th, at 6 pm, returning to school around 8:30.
The program will be led by Camp George faculty member Mark Weinstock and will highlight the best of camp, including Kabbalat Shabbat. Camp George senior staff will be on hand to lead rotations such as arts, sports, teva, and ropes. The camp staff will also be sleeping in cabins and leading the children throughout the weekend. Bus routes and departure times will all be finalized when we have exact numbers.
Participation is limited, and the early-bird price of $50 is only available until May 16th, so sign up soon. Download the permission form here or at the top of the page. And have fun!
