Share the Plate for May: Midnight Run
Midnight Run is a volunteer organization dedicated to finding common ground between the housed and the homeless. They coordinate over 1,000 relief missions per year, where volunteers from faith communities, schools, and other civic groups distribute food, clothing, blankets, and personal care items to our New York City neighbors who are homeless. FUSW has been a participating partner of Midnight Run since its inception more than 30 years ago, and our Runs have been a major part of our congregation's Social Action program for decades. We collect for our Share-the-Plate partner throughout the month. Visit fusw.org, click “Donate,” and select “Share the Plate.”
