What are some extra things your community does?
The social action committee of my temple (the term "temple" is used only by non-Orthodox Jews, but "synagogue" works for us, too) is currently collecting toiletries and towels for distribution to the area's local emergency shelter. The committee organizes a lot of things like that. The temple itself has also been offered as a place of temporary shelter for people in need of a shower or place to sleep for the night.
When children become bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah, they usually choose some form of community service as their "mitzvah project."
The holiday of Purim is approaching (beginning at sundown on March 20th) and charitable giving is part of the holiday. On the Sunday before Purim (March 17th) we're having a Purim Carnival.
