Women of NVHC – Supporting one Another, our Temple and our Extended Community

Celebrating, Learning, and Giving with Acts of Loving Kindness

A Note from your Co-Presidents, Peggy Nelson and Marsha Sheinman

We are excited to be kicking off another year of creating connections and making memories, while offering support to our Temple and our members. The dictionary defines “support” as a “thing that bears the weight of something and keeps it upright.” We think that is what Women of NVHC can offer to you. We want Women of NVHC to be a place where friends become family. We are a community, a place to feel like you belong. A place to gather and share food, laugh, and talk, and a place to catch you when you need to cry. We can be all these things, and we want you to join us. With all of us, we will make NVHC a thriving, giving, warm and friendly place.

Our membership drive kicks off in August, but we welcome new members throughout the year. Whether you are new to the community or a long-time resident, we’d love for you to join us. We are an inclusive community for all NVHC women – married, partnered, single, divorced, or widowed – with or without children – Jewish and non-Jewish – we want to welcome you all to our thriving group! We hope you’ll take advantage of all we have to offer, and become an integral part of our vibrant and supportive community. And, if you are a new NVHC member, we welcome you with one year of free membership to our Women of NVHC group!

We invite all of you to join us to further our mission of promoting camaraderie, esprit de corps, spirituality, and participation in tikkun olam. We support one another, our Temple, and our extended community through a variety of activities, and with acts of loving kindness. We are always looking for innovative ways to offer opportunities and events that will encourage celebrating, learning, and giving to all Women of NVHC. Please do not hesitate to contact us with an idea, an interest, or a new way to make connections; we welcome your thoughts and help in developing new opportunities. Now is the time to join us and become a part of our community.

Join the Women of NVHC; make deep and lasting connections, and feel the warmth and support of belonging to this great group of Women. We are here to support you! We look forward to welcoming you to our activities soon!

L’Shalom, Peggy Nelson and Marsha Sheinman, Co-Presidents

Social Action/Collection Drives

Women of NVHC’s social action focuses on women and children in the local community. We  organize volunteer days, participate in community walks and other events, and support NVHC’s social action program.

We also have several ongoing collection drives:

  • Gently used winter coats, gloves and (new) hats to support Cornerstones (Collection box is located in the Sanctuary coat closet from November – January).  More information at: Sisterhood Annual Coat Drive
  • Used cell phones for the Jewish Coalition Against Domestic Violence (JCADA)  Donate phones with or without chargers, and place in the “Women Giving Back” box in the Sanctuary coat closet. JCADA will delete the data and reset the phone.  More information at: Cell Phone Collection
  • Knit or Crochet Pieces for Warm up America Warm up America collects pieces to make into blankets for those in need.  (Pieces will be collected from the Women Giving Back collection box in the Sanctuary coat closet.)  More information and instructions at: Warm Up America
  • Gently used women’s and children’s clothing and accessories and travel size toiletries to Women Giving Back, to provide free clothing to homeless women and their children (Women Giving Back (WGB) box in the Sanctuary coat closet),
