The Circle of Hope offers a wig bank and weekly support groups for those going through cancer. In addition, they offer monthly cooking programs where local teens come together and cook meals which are then distributed to those who need it most.
In December, 2011, they purchased a 25,000 square-foot campus which currently houses its growing preschool, Hebrew school, summer camp and state of the art Mikvah, which opened in June of 2017. Chabad Center for Jewish Life looks forward to even more growth and excitement in the years to come!
