Rachel House
Seeks Volunteers
Starting November 1, you’ll
have at least 151 opportu
nities to perform a mitzvah.
One hundred fifty-one is the
number of days that Rachel
House, a shelter for homeless
women and children, will be
open this winter. Sponsored
by Temple Israel, Rachel
House is staffed entirely by
volunteers of all faiths. A
minimum of four volunteers
are needed daily — one to cook
the evening meal, another to
greet the guests, and two or
three to stay overnight. The
time commitment varies from
a couple of hours to an over
night stay.
Volunteers who serve as
cooks prepare the evening
meal and generally deliver the
meal prior to the 5 p.m. open
ing time. Greeters arrive at
5 p.m., open the shelter, greet
and register guests and ac
quaint new guests with shelter
policies. Stayover volunteers
arrive at 7 p.m. and provide
the continuity necessary to ad
minister the shelter. The
shelter closes the following
morning at 7:30 a.m.
All new greeter and stay-
over volunteers are required to
attend a 1V2 hour training ses
sion. The sessions will be held
on Sunday afternoons begin
ning in mid-October.
Rachel House served 50
homeless people last year and
is expected to host even more
this winter. It can be done on
ly with the cooperation of
dozens of volunteers. Make an
appointment now to serve as
a volunteer on one of the 151
days Rachel House will be
open. For more details, please
call the following volunteer
coordinators: (Cooks) Faye
Sinkoe, 366-7767; (Greeters)
Ellie Katz, 364-7757; (Stay-
overs) Leah Sepsenwol or

Temple Israel office, 376-2796.
