Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, Anne Arundel County has partnered with Arundel House of Hope (which runs Winter Relief) to provide longer-term shelter for the homeless at the Red Roof Inn.
Kol Shalom has volunteered to help in this endeavor by providing bagged lunches to the 50 residents of this Alternative Shelter on Sunday, October 24. We are looking for 10 individuals or groups to each provide 5 bagged lunches. If you sign up, please bring the lunches to the synagogue parking lot on Oct. 24 from 9:30 AM - 10:00 AM. Janice Krasnow will be there to collect and deliver the lunches to the shelter. See the SignupGenius page for additional information about what the bagged lunches should contain.
With your support, we hope to make this a monthly commitment! Thank you for supporting this mitzvah!
