PLEASE NOTE: THIS YEAR, OUR DAY OF SERVICE IS ON SUNDAY!

It’s our annual MLK Day of Service (we also hope to see you at MLK Shabbat@WHC on Friday, January 17), your chance to work side-by-side with our interfaith partners and provide much-needed items to folks across the DMV!

We start our Clothing Drive at Shabbat Hanukkah. Please bring new or gently used clothing and shoes for adults and children (Warmer items are especially appreciated) to Temple or JBSC between now and January 19.

Registration is required for this event.
