Jewish Pavilion is always there for our Jewish seniors

At the Jewish Pavilion, we want Jewish seniors living in elder-care facilities to know they have not been forgotten by the Jewish community! We want the aged to remain connected to our community and our heritage. Together with our volunteers, we bring a friendly face, Shabbat programs, holiday celebrations, and one-on-one visits to Jewish seniors in 50 facilities in the greater Orlando area.

While our volunteers are amazing, it is our staff that coordinate all of the Shabbat and holiday celebrations. Holiday supplies like round raisin challahs, honey cakes and service booklets are purchased by the Pavilion. Ninety-four percent of the budget goes to programs that directly impact our seniors and their family members, many of whom join their elders for our holiday festivities.

The Jewish Pavilion promotes inclusion as loneliness knows no cultural borders, and thousands of seniors of all faiths attend and are welcomed into our programs each year. http://www.jewishpavilionn.org

Our Senior Help Desk has assisted thousands of callers navigate their way through the daunting senior maze, alleviating caregiver stress while giving advice on all types of elder issues. http://www.orlandoseniorhelpdesk.org
