Blue Moon Fundraisers Close Out Mitzvah Mall Collections On High Note
Thanks to all who enjoyed lunch, dinner, or take-out at Blue Moon last Sunday, we will be closing out Mitzvah Mall 2015 collections on a particularly high note. Blue Moon appreciates the more than $1,500 in business Barnert brought in on March 1 and April 19, and Mitzvah Mall charities will benefit from the restaurant's 20 percent donation. A win-win for all!
Team Tzedek plans to keep the momentum going after this record-breaking year. (Stay tuned for the final 2015 collection count!). The group will meet at least once more before the summer to continue brainstorming, supporting our partner charities and planning for Mitzvah Mall 2016 activities. It's not too late to get in on the action!
"A person who runs to do just, good, and kind deeds attains Life, success, and honor."
Proverbs 21:21

We are Always Collecting Food: Check out the On-Line Option for Donating Food!
Local food pantries are struggling to meet demand. We're always collecting food in the Atrium, but now you may also donate food through the click of a button. Click here for our Barnert Temple Food Drive webpage at yougivegoods.com. It's simple! Select the food you would like to donate and pay on-line. All purchases will be delivered to the Center for Food Action in Mahwah.
Winter Coats and Jackets : We are still collecting for children and adults. Please donate new or gently used coats and jackets today! They will be donated to the Paterson community through CUMAC (Center of United Methodist Aid), a 2009 Mitzvah Mall Charity.
New Toiletries, Cosmetic Bags, Toiletry Bags: Center for Hope and Safety (formerly Shelter Our Sisters, a 2002 Mitzvah Mall Charity) still need items. Full sizes or the small bottles of shampoo, conditioner, lotion and bars of soap from hotels are great! New cosmetic bags and toiletry bags are needed as well!
Please drop off your contributions in the baskets in the Atrium.
