OPERATION WARM UP IS GETTING INTO GEAR
Calling All Volunteers – A rewarding way to help the homeless!
Operation Warm Up collects winter clothing items for those in need. Coats, hats, boots, gloves, socks and long underwear are in great demand. Items are donated from more than 30 community sites. Committee members will “adopt a site” – drop off a bin at a near-by site (temples, agencies, and organizations around town), check on it once or twice to collect items so that it is not overflowing, and then collect it at the end.
Join us at the kick-off meeting for Operation Warm Up.
Bring your lunch and we will provide dessert. All are welcome to join this committee that engages in such a vital mission.
Date
: Friday, August 24
Time
: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Place
: NCJW office, 26055 Emery Rd., Warrensville Hts.
