Friendship Club
East Brunswick, besides being a fabulous community, is now home to the newly founded Friendship Club dedicated to enlisting and empowering area teens to organize and demonstrate their care for the elderly and infirm. Each week on Fridays during the summer months, the teens, ranging in age between 12 and 16, mobilize and visit residents of the Chelsea Assisted Living Center providing engaging and enjoyable culturally artistic and theatrical activities . They also distribute mini Challah rolls, as well as flowers in honor of Shabbat – the Sabbath, sponsored in part by the Shop Rite of East Brunswick. The teens, who are all part of Chabad of East Brunswick’s Bas Mitzvah Program, will also be conducting musical performances, as well as participating in fun activities and projects bringing smiles on the faces of the senior participants.
