A Special Thanks to All Those Who Contributed to the High Holy Days Food Drive
A special, heartfelt thanks to all of you who donated packaged or canned goods or made a monetary contribution to the EMJC 2022 High Holy Days Food Drive. Your thoughtful contributions will be going to Masbia, B'nai Raphael and the Our Lady of Refuge RC Church food pantries. As you all must be aware, many of our NYC neighbors continue to experience food insecurity and your donations will certainly help these wonderful organizations continue their work. Again, thanks for your thoughtful generosity.
