The Baltimore Chesed League – Girls (BCL-Girls), in partnership with Suburban Orthodox, had a fantastic launch to their 3rd season. With a dynamic and unique group, the nearly 70 girls represent Bais Yaakov, Beth Tfiloh, Bnos Yisroel, Krieger Schechter Day School, and Ohr Chadash Academy, and have all volunteered to give of their free time to engage in chesed opportunities in the community. To date, the teams have brought joy to the residents in Aventura at the Park and Aventura at the Heights with songs, magic tricks, and homemade cards. They have partnered with The Jewish Caring Network and helped distribute lawn signs for their upcoming 5K. Teams have baked delicious Shabbos desserts for beneficiaries of Bikur Cholim of Baltimore and volunteered to help set-up and run booths for the Yom Haatzmaut community event at Shomrei Emunah. Furthermore, these girls don’t let distance get in the way of chesed and made beautiful multisensory cards for the residents of ADI – Advancement of People with Disabilities and Rehabilitation for All in Israel. These cards will be distributed in time for Shavuos. But, wait! There’s more! Teams helped create a display at the Jewish Library of Baltimore (formerly, CJE), organized clothing at a new clothing Gmach called Panache, and volunteered at Yitzchok’s Toy Box, a gemach that lends out therapy toys & equipment for children where they photographed and cataloged inventory and helped organize the gemach items. These girls are superstars and we are so proud of the impact they are having by giving back to Jewish Baltimore.
