Social Action Committee

On November 1st there will be a congregation program centering on food… for those in Israel as well as those within our Suffolk community. Think about what non-perishable foods we can collect to help make Thanksgiving dinners for Long Islanders who face food insecurity. I’m looking for canned sweet potatoes, instant potato packets, canned fruits and veggies, cranberry sauce, salad dressings and other condiments, gravies, etc.

As I have asked in the past, when you do your food shopping over the next few weeks, please think about this and purchase one item to put into that metal can in our coatroom. Help me put together an abundant amount of food that will go to the JCC of Suffolk County for distribution in time for Thanksgiving.

With much appreciation,

Bonnie Samuels

Sisterhood Social Action VP
