Current Needs-

1. Housing summer Volunteers
We are expecting volunteers from synagogues all across the United States to arrive in Birmingham ready to join our relief efforts during the summer.

We still have a need for more TEE host families to house them for the months of June through September. Please email Bob Gross for more info and to sign up.

2. Organizing summer children's activities
The children of families displaced by the storm will need something to keep them occupied and happy during the summer months while their families try to rebuild their homes and their lives. Volunteers will be needed to create, provide and supervise these programs.
