JCC Land Community Service Day: 20+ Neighbors, One Beautiful Sunday

More than 20 community members showed up on a recent Sunday morning to help care for our beloved JCC property, and we are deeply grateful.

Together, volunteers cleared brush and weeds to prepare for upcoming Camp Shoreshim activities, relocated and refurbished an old shed, cleaned out years of accumulated materials, and reorganized storage areas to make our spaces more functional and usable. Our dedicated tennis community also stepped up, beautifying the court surface and securing fences and wind screens to help preserve this treasured amenity.

In Jewish tradition, caring for the land is both a responsibility and a mitzvah.  "We feel incredibly blessed to serve as stewards of this beautiful 10-acre property and sharing it with the Jewish community," said JCC Co-President Janelle Eagle. “This land holds tremendous potential to better serve the SLO Jewish community and our neighbors, and we believe we are only beginning to imagine what is possible here.”

​A heartfelt thank you to Nissa Rost-Rothman, our Board Land Trustee, the members of the Land Committee, and the many new volunteers who joined us.

We invite your input to help shape the future of this special place. If you feel inspired by the possibilities of this property, please consider joining our Land Committee and contributing your ideas, energy, and vision.
