Community Food Bank of Sedona – weekly donations sent to the food bank. Also, special High Holy Day collections.

Refugee Centers in Phoenix – fall clothing drive and food collection and January Winter Coat and clothing collection.

School Back-pack program with the Community Food Bank of Sedona – We volunteer to pack weekend food supplements for the Sedona students who qualify for this program.  We usually volunteer for Thursday mornings in November and December.

Summer Survival Kits – Donation collection in March and April for the homeless people served by the Old Town Mission in Cottonwood. We collect items including tents, sleeping bags, hats, visors, sun screen, bug spray, and other safety products for summer needs.

Rotary Club’s Community Garden – We donate vegetable and fruit plants to the Rotary Club’s Community Garden in the Village of Oak Creek (VOC) in the spring and fall. Our SAC Committee members are very concerned about food sustainability in our community and this provides the means to support this issue. 

Social Action Shabbat – honoring community volunteers at the Friday Shabbat on February 21, 2025.

Mitzvah Day – a Sunday afternoon community wide program of helping community groups with good deeds will be scheduled for the Fall of 2025.

Additional programs to be added as approved and organized by the SAC Committee.
