    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Saturday - 10/26/2024 - 06:53 PM

    A group of teens from Boca Raton, who are part of B’nai Torah Congregation, got together to bake cookies for youth caregivers.

Youth caregivers are people between the age of 8 and 19 who provide care for a family member near or in the individual’s home. Summer Faerman, Director of the TLC Program at B’nai Torah Congregation, launched Cookies for Caregivers as a way for community volunteers to give back in a simple way. November also happens to be National Family Caregiver Awareness Month. If you’d like to get involved, reach out to Summer directly.
