The mission of Cedar Village is to make aging an enriching and fulfilling experience. Providing the opportunity for our seniors to continue an active role as leaders in the community is just one manner in which we as staff members can trulyhonor our father and mother.
Cedar Village has a successful program of engaging residents as volunteers in community service. Chesed Corpsis a resident-driven initiative that involves both weekly and monthly acts of community service and truly exemplifies the meaning of performing a good deed.
The Chesed Corps is currently collecting gifts for one candle for Tzedakah. Tzedakah means charitable giving. The gifts will help families who are unable to purchase gifts for their children for the holidays.
“I think volunteering gives you a great deal of satisfaction, joy and peace. I can’t tell you the feeling of success that we feel being a part of such wonderful projects,” said Helen.
