Needs From: Volunteer Memphis

We hope you can join us for a special volunteer Community Day at Memphis Jewish Home & Rehab on Sunday, August 16, 2026. Honoring National Senior Citizen's Day, Community Day will kick off our 100th anniversary celebrations, focusing on the people we serve: our residents! We will have many volunteer opportunities to choose from. If you have any questions, please reach out to Jasmine Williams, jwilliams@memphisjewishhome.org.

Gardening: Help us replant flower boxes, paint rocks to decorate the campus, and touch up the gardens.

Games: Assist residents with playing bingo, Family Feud, Jeopardy, and Price Is Right.

Archives: Review MJHR’s Archives, searching for stories and facts to be highlighted for the 100th anniversary.

Memory Lane: Assist residents with a special art project: making a memory book keepsake!

Resident Parade (12pm-2pm): Be paired up with a resident to dress up and decorate their wheelchair for a joyful campus-wide parade at the end of the day.

Community Celebration (2pm): As a special thank you for your service, join us at the end of the day for live music and a party in the auditorium!

Are you interested in forming a one-on-one relationship with a senior in your community? Helping to combat their social isolation while developing a special bond? This is the program for you!

Friendly Faces is Memphis Jewish Home & Rehab's resident visiting program. We pair volunteers with residents who they visit once every two weeks. Pairings are done based off of interests, backgrounds, etc. to ensure a positive experience for both parties.

Due to the nature of this volunteer opportunity, background checks and TB skin tests are required.

Volunteers are needed to assist with flower-arranging activities at the Adult Day Center every first and fourth Friday of the month. Volunteers will help set up materials, offer guidance for individuals, and place the vases around the Home. This is a great opportunity to promote creativity, cognitive engagement, and positive social connection.
