Chi Does Good During This Pandemic and Beyond

By Camp Chi
Chi Does Good

The sun is shining, and the temperatures are hot. Schools are done and summer is surely here. But this summer will be like no other. Just a few months ago, with the onset of this pandemic, our year was thrown into turmoil. It has been scary for some, sad for others, and unprecedented for all. But the Chi Family has really stepped up to do so much good in these trying times.

Over the past few months, we have seen campers help provide food and sustenance for the hungry, we have made masks for the medical workers who were working so hard during the pandemic, and so much more. Our staff stepped forward to help fight racial inequities, support and educate others alongside marchers and protesters with the Black Lives Matter movement. We have made friendship bracelets for doctors and nurses, wrote letters and made cards for the troops, and have reached out to stay connected to those who have been lonely during the quarantine. And we can’t leave out our canine companions who benefited from our homemade toys.

We try to live by the core values of Camp Chi- kavod (respect), chesed (kindness) and kehillah (community)- all year. We are the sum of our parts- and we know you have done more than what we’ve posted. Doing mitzvot and giving back to the community are cornerstones of living a Jewish life. Click the link below to tell us what you have done to help others and give back to the community in this pandemic. We would love to feature you as a Mitzvah Maker and do our part to help support you as well. Why? It’s simple, by truly living the Camp Chi Values, Chi Does Good.
