More than 500 volunteers are registered for the 26th annual JEWISHcolorado Christmas Mitzvah Project, designed to support community organizations and agencies, enabling staff and regular volunteers to spend time with their family and friends for the Christmas holiday.

This year, a Boulder family is opening their home to welcome local families to participate in this meaningful day of service. The local site will conduct indirect service projects, including making fleece scarves and cold weather gear packs for people in need.

Each Christmas for the past 24 years, JEWISHcolorado and hundreds of volunteers relieve employees and regular volunteers at local charitable organizations, healthcare facilities, and senior living facilities on Christmas Eve, December 24, and Christmas Day, December 25, so they can spend time with their loved ones.

Jewish volunteers will provide relief to non-Jewish employees/volunteers at a range of local healthcare and non-profit facilities, enabling them to spend Christmas with their loved ones.
