Non-profit organization Charitable Foundation for Social Support "Family Center"
The Family Center Charitable Foundation was founded in 2005, and since its opening, one of the main components of our work has been volunteer activities aimed at helping socially vulnerable groups of the Jewish community, lonely and sedentary elderly, low-income families and families with children at risk, people in difficult life situation.
The projects are aimed at socialization and assistance with essential needs. Volunteers share their professional knowledge, organize charity projects, events to help those in need, work as auto volunteers, and initiate their own personal projects.
Our goal is not only to improve volunteer activities, but also to develop the volunteer movement in the city and on the periphery. The success of our center is largely achieved thanks to enormous volunteer work.

Кuleshova Еugenia Iacovlevna. 28 years old. Advertisement Expert. How did she get to the volunteer center? In 2011 I have finished the leading seminar «Metsuda», the goal of which it was to create my own volunteer project. And since then, the volunteer activities have become an integral part of my life. Now, I can’t imagine my Sunday without Volunteer Center, without my project concerning the work with the teenagers. And even my 10 year old son is involved in a large number of promo events together with me. So, the opening of the Volunteer Center meant for me the only one thing -I’ll soon have a huge number of like-minded people who want to change this world for the better.
Why to be a volunteer? Because this is now the only possible (real and available to everyone) the way to change something around yourself. To make the world better, purer and kinder. Don’t sit and complain but to change, create, improve, and develop. Why is it actual today? For many reasons, actually. Of course because I have already said that only with your own power, desire and love you can change something. Since I mostly work with the teenagers, so, I can name several more specific reasons for them. This is a great way to find real friends. Not those who will be together with you only in social networks, but those who will be tested not only by a word but also by his deeds. This year, it was much talked about that we remember the veterans only on 9 May. So, our guys can proudly say that it isn’t so! I know that our teenagers visit the veterans not only on holidays, but also during the weekdays. It’s nice to be a part of something big and good, and the Volunteer Center is best suited for this.
