The Caring Committee - Supporting Our Members

Whether it's due to an illness, the loss of a loved one, or some other challenge, your Beth El community is prepared to be of help. Our members can assist with meals (Meal Train), friendly phone calls, or some basic errands for groceries or other essentials. If you are in need of some assistance, or would like to be part of corps of helpers, please contact us.
