Volunteer Project

Honor those at rest by cleaning up Har Nebo, one of the region’s oldest and largest cemeteries. Volunteer tasks include raking, picking up trash and clipping overgrown vines. The cleanup will end with a memorial service to honor all of those buried. 

This upcoming volunteer opportunity is in partnership with NextGen and Women's Philanthropy. All are welcome.
