Ottawa’s 8th Annual Mitzvah “Good Deeds” Day

On Sunday February 9^th, 2014 for the second consecutive year, 25 young adults between the ages of 22 and 35 from Ottawa’s Jewish Community rolled up their sleeves to prep, cook, serve and clean for those in need at Shepherds of Good Hope Soup Kitchen at 233 Murray Street.

This group helped out as part of the Jewish Federation of Ottawa’s 8^th Annual Mitzvah “Good Deeds” Day.

Mitzvah Day is all about imaginative, hands-on projects that play a pivotal role in building a stronger community -- one good deed at a time.  Regardless of age, gender or affiliation – people can donate their time and energy to a diverse range of vital causes that make a tangible difference for those in need.

Each day during the weekend, 25 volunteers from community organizations serve the over 1600 most vulnerable men and women in the city of Ottawa that come through the doors of Shepherds of Good Hope.
