CHRISTMAS AT THE MERCY HOME
Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, it is time to start thinking about helping out at the Mercy Home this Christmas. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this “minchag,” our Jewish community volunteers to run the 24 hour domestic violence shelter from 2:00 P.M. on Christmas Eve until 5:00 P.M. on Christmas Day while the staff spends time with their families. Anyone is welcome to volunteer – training is provided. The only stipulation is that a male must volunteer with a female due to the sensitive nature of domestic violence toward women. Since this is a “secret shelter”, the location of the shelter will be provided to you closer to Christmas.
We customarily volunteer for 3 hour shifts starting at 2:00 P.M. on 12/24 through 5:00 P.M. on 12/25. Here is a list of the shifts that will need to be covered:
- Wednesday afternoon, 12/24: 2:00 – 5:00 P.M.
- Wednesday evening, 12/24: 5:00 P.M. – 8:00 P.M.
- Wednesday evening,12/24: 8:00 P.M. – 11:00 P.M.
- Thursday morning, 12/25: 8:00 A.M. – 11:00 A.M.
- Thursday afternoon, 12/25: 11:00 A.M. – 2:00 P.M.
- Thursday afternoon, 12/25: 2:00 P.m. – 5:00 P.M.
