SSH and Family Table Donations
While we are not able to volunteer in person, the temple is continuing our commitment to JF&CS Family Table and Father Bill's & Mainspring Shelter. Family Table - Whole grain pasta and canned salmon Father Bill's - individually wrapped breakfast items and travel-sized toiletries. Please drop donations in the bins in the lobby.
Family Table Summary (and Summer)
This year, Temple Beth David contributed 227 cans of salmon and 263 packages of whole grain pasta to Family Table (and that’s just what we know of)! Jewish Family and Children’s Services is incredibly appreciative of the many donations made to their food pantry by the Temple Beth David community. Don‘t stop this summer! The bins in the lobby are still here...bring pasta or salmon when you come to services. Family Table also has a wish list on Amazon, find it here. The items on this list are in priority order, so send whatever you can. Thank you for your continued support of Family Table!
