Pledge An Hour-
Help Volunteer to Repair the
World One of our donors was
so
inspired by our efforts that she offered a challenge
grant, giving Hillel's Tzedek program $1 for every
new person who volunteers through our Pledge an
Hour
campaign, up to $10,000. The goal of this
campaign is to help repair the world by encouraging
people to volunteer some time, making a difference
in their community or in the world. It doesn't take
much, whether you spend an hour changing light
bulbs
in your home to eco-friendly ones, or visit the sick
in the hospital.
And now, giving just an hour of your time can help
fund some of Hillel's social justice activities on
campus.

An Hour HERE!
