MITZVAH OPPORTUNITIES!

The Ten Commandments for Giving to

the WIN Food Pantry:

Love thy neighbor.
Remember thy neighbor when you go food shopping.
Choose nutritious canned or packaged foods for thine donation.
Bring at least one offering of food with thou each time thou comest to temple.
If thou art unable or unwilling to go food shopping, thou may donate financially to the pantry. See information on monetary donations below.
Thou shalt not bring opened or damaged cans or packages for donation.
Thou shalt not bring expired items for donation.
Thou shalt not bring items other than food for donation.
Thou shalt not bring monster-size big box store items for donation.
Thou shalt not forget thine neighbors in need!

If we all adhere to these commandments, our WIN Food Pantry will always be well-stocked to serve the community that depends on it. If you wish to make a monetary donation rather than bringing food to the temple, please make your check payable to WIN Food Pantry and mail or drop it at the temple marked to my attention. Thank you for your ongoing generosity.

Wayne United

The current food assistance needs in Wayne are greater than any one organization can provide. For this reason, these organizations and food pantries have united efforts to serve Wayne residents during this pandemic and beyond. Many families, senior citizens and single residents are impacted, some for the first time, by the physical, mental and financial strains of this crisis.

Please consider adding something to your shopping list, check your cabinets, and join this effort.
