• Visit nursing homes - visit someone who has few visitors.
• "Mitzvah In Motion" - provide transportation to doctor's appointments, shopping, library, etc.
• Friendly visitor to the homebound - visit people in their homes as needed.
• Telephone reassurance - check up on the homebound by phone.
• New American activities - tutor in conversational English, prepare people for citizenship exam, help with preparation of documents.
• Welcoming "committee" for new American arrivals - help set up apartment, meet them at the airport, be a "tour guide."
• Special projects - campaign mailings, special event planning committee.
