Maot Chittim Donations Still Needed

Jewish Family Services has only reached a third of its goal for Maot Chittim Passover donations. 
This fund is independent of the Kosher Food Pantry budget, and is necessary to help provide products needed to prepare a seder to those in our community who may not otherwise be able to afford kosher for Pesach items. You can help our members celebrate Pesach in their homes by giving  monetary donations to our Passover Appeal Campaign.
Grocery cards to Midwest Kosher Deli and Martins in $10 & $25 increments are also requested.

For more information on our Kosher Food Pantry, or if you would like to discuss donation options, please contact Lizzie Fagen at  [email protected] or by calling at 574-233-1164 x 104.

Date Correction
In the Our Community News we listed Yom HaZikaron Memorial as being on Sunday, May 16 at 4:00 PM. This program is scheduled for Sunday, May 15 at 4:00 PM and will immediately precede our Annual Yom Ha'Atzmaut celebration. 

Also, our Unto Every Person There Is A Name ceremony will be held on Thursday, May 5th at the County Courthouse as part of our Yom HaShoah Memorial Program. 

If you have any questions regarding these, or other programs in the coming months, please contact the Jewish Federation at 574-233-1164.
