WIN Food Pantry Update - ** Please note that because of space constraints, the pantry can no longer accept donations of matzos.**

Please be aware that once again we will be holding a High Holiday food drive to benefit the WIN Food Pantry. The details regarding the drive are included in the High Holiday email you received. Please be sure to read it, take the list of most-needed items to the supermarket, and bring your food donations to the temple anytime between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. We have always given outstanding support to this worthy endeavor, and I know we will continue to do so during the upcoming holidays. Please also be aware that food items that are beyond their expiration dates are unacceptable. So check the dates on any items you are planning to donate.

And, as always, monetary donations are always welcome. Checks may be sent to Wayne Interfaith Network, PO Box 3341, Wayne, NJ 07470-3341. And we ask that you note on your check that you are a member of Temple Beth Tikvah. Thank you in advance for your help in assisting our Wayne neighbors in need. If you have any questions, I can be reached at (973) 696-5549.

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.

Please click here for a list of needed items and here for more information on how you can help.
