Social Action Committee

REMINDER!!! 

This Sunday is our congregation program centering on food… for those in Israel as well as those within our Suffolk community. PLEASE think about what non-perishable foods will help make Thanksgiving dinners special for Long Islanders who face food insecurity. Within the next 2 weeks bring in just one or two of these things: canned sweet potatoes, instant potato packets, canned fruits, cranberry sauce, salad dressings and other condiments, gravies, etc.

Help put together an abundant amount of food that we, the NSJC congregation, can deliver to the JCC of Suffolk County for distribution in time for Thanksgiving.

With much appreciation,

Bonnie Samuels

Sisterhood Social Action VP  

Please pay your membership dues if you haven't already.
