Volunteer
Volunteers are the life-blood of Gulf Coast JFCS. We are proud of the ongoing commitment demonstrated by hundreds of volunteers each year. Whether it’s an ongoing commitment or just helping out at an event, we welcome community volunteers!
Our volunteers as well as our programs serve the Jewish and non-Jewish community. If you are interested for volunteering for any of our programs please contact the program directly or call 727-479-1800
Events and Office Support
Events and Office Support provides much needed assistance for community events such as Holocaust Survivor lunches, senior programs, stocking the food pantry, administrative work such as filing and mailings. In Pinellas and Pasco counties, we partner with the Jewish Federation’s Volunteer Central (www.jewishpinellas.org). Volunteer opportunities are posted on Volunteer Central and we encourage the local Jewish community to support our various volunteer needs.
