The Social Action Committee recently met and prepared bags for the homeless and those in need. We have been doing this project for over a year and have found it to be a very worthwhile and satisfying experience. People on the receiving end have been very thankful and most responses have been positive. I want to thank the congregation for participating by bringing hygiene items and by taking some bags and distributing them. I also want to thank the members of SAC for donating so many wonderful items. The members are: Susan Miller, Cheryl Miller, Lenore Holloway, Judi Hyman, Tish Levy, Bobbie Rosenthal, Ellen Mundell, Karen Herskovic, and Lyla Nathan.
The bags have a new and very necessary item this time, they are very sturdy ponchos, so important this year. These ponchos were personally given to us by Billy Friedman. A warm thank you to you and your family for your continued generosity
helping those less fortunate in our community.
As always we continue to provide food for the pantry at JFCS. Thanks to the whole congregation for keeping the bin in the foyer full of healthy food products. They always need low sodium and non gluten foods. Peanut butter, tuna , non refrigerated milk are always needed. Please keep up the great work you do.
We will have our next volunteering at the Redwood Empire Food Bank on Wednesday, March 1, at 10:00-12:00, Hope you can make it.
Once again, thanks to everyone for making Beth Ami a giving and caring community.
