Pinch Hitters: Giving Back to the Atlanta Community

Since 1980, the Pinch Hitters Program has been a wonderful opportunity for us to give something back to the Atlanta community. As B'nai B'rith's annual community service project, volunteers from the Atlanta Jewish Community "go to bat" for non-medical hospital personnel on Christmas Day, allowing our Christian brethren to spend the holiday at home with their families. Over the years, hundreds of volunteers have helped make the Pinch Hitter Program a success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can children volunteer as a Pinch Hitter? At this time, children under the age of 18 are only permitted to volunteer with a parent or guardian at the William Breman Jewish Home location.

How will I know what to do or where to go? Before your arrival, you will be notified by your volunteer coordinator for the facility where you are assigned of your actual reporting time. The coordinator will share any information with you about parking and check-in.

Can you tell me more about the Volunteer T-shirt? When you arrive at your assigned location, your B'nai B'rith volunteer coordinator will give you a t-shirt to wear during your shift. The shirt is your "badge", and you are expected to wear it. It identifies you as a volunteer to staff and patients or residents.

What can I expect to do on my volunteer shift? Depending on location, volunteers may work in a kitchen or dining room, do light housekeeping such as cleaning tables or sweeping floors, serve at a reception desk, play bingo or other games with residents, or simply serve as a companion to a resident.
