Volunteering

The Misler Center welcomes family members and others of all ages who would like to donate their time and expertise to the Center. Volunteers at Misler present programs on special topics, provide musical and cultural entertainment, help serve lunch, lead regular weekly programs, and even bring their pets for therapeutic visits! Whether helping one day a week, a month or a year, Misler volunteers help make a difference in the lives of our participants. Community Service hours for high school students may be arranged.

If you are interested in volunteering at Misler Center, call 301-468-1740.

Gifting

Many caring family members and friends have supported the Misler Adult Day Center and other essential programs of the Jewish Council for the Aging. We thank them all! Their tax-deductible gifts to program operations or perpetual endowment enable us to serve people in need -- people of all faiths and from all walks of life.

To make a gift in honor or memory of a loved one (or anonymously as you direct), please contact Bruce Kipnis at (301) 255-4226 or bkipnis@accessjca.org. And please read about our "Continuing a Proud Legacy, Creating a New Future" campaign by clicking on the brochure pictured here. (PDF)

Each contribution or remittance of payment by check is considered authorization to convert that particular check into an electronic fund transfer. If your check is unable to be converted, it may be processed as a Check Replacement Document drawn against your account. When we use information from your check to make an electronic fund transfer, funds may be withdrawn from your account as soon as the same day you make your payment, and you will not receive your check back from your financial institution. You have the right to opt out of Electronic Conversion. If you choose to exercise this right, write the words ‘Opt Out’ in the memo field of your check and JCA will process it as a draft against your account.
