GO GO Grandparent will have booking agents available 24/7. When a client calls, the agent will book, monitor and stay available to the client until the ride is complete. Riders MUST preregister with Nicole Brown at (904) 394-5724 and have a cell phone (texting is not necessary) to use this service. Call2Go is available to those in need of transportation to attend synagogue, medical appointments and other important outings. A sliding fee scale is available. Don't be deceived by the name...you don't have to be a grandparent to use the program. Call Nicole today! 47
B'nai Tzedek Next Gen Philanthropy
Through Mel and Debbie Gottlieb's leadership and generosity, the B'nai Tzedek program started in 1999. B'nai Tzedek redefines Jewish philanthropy by showing young adults that they, too, can change the world through a personal and engaged relationship to lifelong giving. Participants learn about modern philanthropy and apply their knowledge by making heartfelt grants to the organizations and causes they care about within the Jewish community. The Next Gen Philanthropy Program helps young people learn about leadership, service, financial literacy, and longterm investing to use their tzedekah for good.
To learn more about opening a B'nai Tzedek Fund contact Kellie Smith at 904.512.3796 or K KellieK@jewishjacksonville.org.
