About TOV

TOV logo The Tikkun Olam Volunteer (TOV) Network is JUF's connection point for people who want to donate their time to help others in need. In accordance with tikkun olam, the Jewish concept of repairing the world one good deed at a time, TOV places members of the Jewish community with Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federation affiliated agencies and with community service projects that need volunteers.

Whether you are interested in volunteering once a week or once a year, in the city or in the suburbs, with the elderly or with children, by tutoring or by serving food to the homeless, TOV's volunteer advisors will work hard to find the best match to meet your needs and interests.

What’s Happening @ TOV?

Spring Mitzvah Mania 2008

It's Raining Volunteer Opportunities at TOV!

The JUF TOV Volunteer Network's Spring Mitzvah Mania 2008, a calendar of one-time volunteer opportunities, starts soon! Spring Mitzvah Mania will run from Sunday, April 6 to Sunday, May 18. Shower some goodwill over Chicagoland this spring! Serve a meal, build a house, sort food donations, visit with the elderly and so much more!

TOV is sponsoring a book drive at area synagogues and JCCs in conjunction with the annual Spring Mitzvah Mania project. New and gently used children’s books are welcome. Collected books will be donated to schools participating in the JUF TOV Literacy Project and other local social service agencies.

There are projects for individuals and groups of all ages. Sign up to volunteer or call the TOV hotline at (312) 357-4762.
