We are pleased to invite you and your family to join us, and other Beth Emet families, to participate in the upcoming family mitzvah and social action event,
Baking a Difference
. We will be making Chanukah cookies and will donate the baked goods to the Beth Emet Soup Kitchen and others in the community.
In addition, this event will serve as part of a "virtual food drive" to buy Aldi gift cards for families of the Rohingya Cultural Center (RCC). Beth Emet has supported the families of the RCC in many ways including teaching Mom & Tot classes, English tutoring, and the toy and book drive we held last spring. For this drive, we are aiming to provide the center with a minimum of fifty $25 gift cards so our fundraising target is $1250. A $25 dollar gift card is much more than just the value of the gift and the vegetables, culturally-appropriate food, and diapers it can buy. The reality is that these gift cards draw community members to the Rohingya Cultural Center for distributions of donations and it give the RCC the opportunity to connect families to other supports and programs to help them succeed.
Any donation you can make to help us reach our target is truly appreciated.
If you can not attend the event, but wish to make a donation, you can do so
