Our members provide visits at home, at Jefferson Hospital, Cherry Hill, and in the senior centers like Lions Gate, Dubin House, and Arista Care. We provide shabbos boxes with challah rolls to patients who desire. 

In the works: We are working with Virtua Hospital to start visits there as well!

We provide various programming at Lions Gate. Some of these programs include:

• Musical hour

In the works: We are planning to expand Dogs and Discussions to other local senior homes
