Mitzvas of the month

Announcements

Here at Ometz, we are heartened by the dedication and compassion of our volunteers and donors who step up to make a difference. Their understanding of the needs of our clients and their generous response are an affirmation of our mission and an inspiration to us all. This month we turn our attention to two amazing events that took place and the people who had a big impact on our Ometz community.

Retter Dental Cares

On the afternoon of September 27th, father son duo, Drs. Jason and Warren Retter of Retter Dental Care held their first free dental clinic for Ometz clients. Calling it ‘Retter Dental Cares,’ the dentists and dental hygienists gave free cleanings and dental treatment to as many as 12 clients.

“Pro bono work has always been part of our practice but mixed into the hustle and bustle of our daily routine,” says Dr. Jason Retter. “It felt important to be able to create a space exclusively for the Ometz clients to show them we care. And Ometz is such an important and impressive organization. The idea of being able to collaborate with them is very exciting.

He says he hopes to host around six free clinics for Ometz clients over the course of the year.

Yom Yocheved Clothing Giveaway

Now in its 12th year, the Combined Jewish Appeal’s Yom Yocheved Clothing Giveaway was held on October 22nd in the conference halls of the Gelber Auditorium. Every year, this popular giveaway offers a free, unlimited shopping spree to over 250 Ometz families, including around 600 children, with sponsors donating all brand new clothing. The families, who book appointments ahead of time to the “by invitation only” event, work with a personal shopper to choose from a wide selection of outerwear, indoor clothing, footwear and more. What a fantastic day!
