YJC FOOD DRIVE 2011

 As we look towards the New Year, so many of our neighbors do not have enough food to feed their families. This year, we join other synagogues throughout the country who are asking their members to share a little of the food that they have. 

So, while we fast on Yom Kippur, why not donate that food to those in need?

We will provide a shopping bag (or 2) at services before Yom Kippur for each family to fill with groceries. Please pick up a bag from the YJC Lobby at your earliest convenience.

Fill your bag with as many extra non-perishable food items you have at home. Some examples of non-perishable foods include: soups, cans of tuna or other fish/meat, spaghetti/tomato sauces, rice, canned high protein beans such as chick peas, cannellini and kidney beans, canned vegetables, canned fruit, past, juices/soda, cereals, etc...

Please return your filled bag to the YJC Lobby anytime before or after Yom Kippur.

The food you donate will then be distributed to local food pantries to feed those in need.

Any questions please contact Deb May (at djackson@weiserllp.com).

Many thanks for helping.
