2022 High Holiday Food Drive

As we get ready to celebrate the High Holidays, we also will continue our tradition of collecting food to help our neighbors who are struggling with food insecurity made worse by inflation and the pandemic. More than ever, our help is needed to ensure there is ample food on the shelves of the Person to Person food pantry. Our previous efforts have made a difference in the lives of so many in our community and we are hoping to exceed past donations this year.

Distribution of Bags

Empty bags, with a list of requested foods, are available to be picked up at the Temple as of Friday, September 23 for those participating in the services virtually. The bags will also be handed out to each family at temple on Rosh Hashanah. Congregants can use their own bags, if preferred. Please fill the bags with food and return them to the truck parked at the Temple on Yom Kippur or any day until Sunday, October 9.
