You are invited to participate in this community-based, interfaith, intergenerational day of service to local organizations. Mitzvah Day is organized by the Jewish Community of Sedona and the Verde Valley with participation by local churches and civic and philanthropic groups.
Volunteers will sign in at the synagogue on Sunday, October 29 from 12:30 to 1:00, pick up food and water, sign liability forms, and get name tags with the Mitzvah Day logo. Then volunteers will proceed to their work sites, and perform their good deeds. An alternative meeting site is the Habitat for Humanity headquarters, at 737 So. Main Street, Cottonwood. End at 4:00.
