On the High Holy Days, we take the opportunity to recommit ourselves to social action and perform acts of  tzedakah.

The Community Issues/Social Action Committee and WHECTY have teamed up to help with this year’s High Holy Day Food Drive. We are collecting the following items to distribute to YWCA National Capital Area, So Others Might Eat (SOME), NW Community Food, and Nourish Now:

• Beans: Canned or Dried
• Canned Protein: Salmon, Tuna, and Chicken
• Canned Vegetables: Low Sodium or No Salt Added
• Canned Fruit: Light Syrup or No Sugar Added
• Cereal: Oatmeal, Cheerios, Cornflakes, and Raisin Bran
• Grains: Brown and White Rice, Pasta, and Mac & Cheese
• Healthy Snacks: Apple Sauce Cups, Raisins, and Granola Bars
• Peanut Butter

Pick up a donation bag at either Temple or JBSC beginning on Erev Rosh HaShanah (Friday, September 11). Fill it with donations and return it to either Temple or JBSC by the end of Yom Kippur (Monday, September 21).

Please make sure all expiration dates are at least six years after Yom Kippur. If you have any questions about the food drive, please contact Lauren Lieberman at LLieberman@whctemple.org.
