Mitzvah Projects

One of the most important parts of becoming a bar/bat mitzvah is the mitzvah project.  This act of tzedakah is a way to give back to your community and redirect resources from consumption to tikkun olam.  As an all-volunteer organization, we at DogAbility Center know the value and importance that all different types of donation can have. We invite you to consider DogAbility Center in your mitzvah project for a special, fun, and unique way to complete this part of your becoming an adult in the Jewish faith.  The information provided here will answer your questions and explain how your contribution to DogAbility Center will help us contribute to our important work and giving back to our community, we could never do it without support from people like you! If you have any other questions please let us know and we hope you will consider supporting DogAbility Center at this special time in your life.
