OUR MISSION

The Morris Cafritz Center for Community Service (MCCCS) at the Washington DCJCC organizes high-impact community service projects and events that address unmet needs in the Washington DC Metropolitan area. For the past 20 years the MCCCS has enabled tens of thousands of individuals to make a difference in our community.
 
Our volunteers take responsibility to enrich the lives of others as well as their own. Through active partnerships with over 100 local social service agencies and corporations we are repairing the world – one neighborhood at a time.
