After you donate money or time you can:
Participate:
Take a tour that gives you an insider’s view of each food shelf. It's a good way to bond with friends, family and other Adath members by volunteering together.
Vote:
In October, you will have the chance to vote on allocation of funds. We’ll provide some funding for all three food shelves, but extra funds will go to the food shelf you think needs the most help.
Celebrate:
Be part of a congregation wide celebration where checks will be presented to the food shelves.

Thank you to our Hesed Heroes!
Thank you to Adath "Hesed heroes" Caleb Sondell, Logan Aronauer, their parents, friends and Risa Kessler for volunteering at Prism. Caleb, Logan and friends helped out at Prism for their B'nai Mitzvah project. Their dedication and caring actions go far to help eliminate hunger in our community. I hope that other families will follow their example and volunteer! It's not hard, and it's fun to help others along with family and friends.

High Holy Day Food Drive
Time is flying by and before you know it the high holidays will be here again. As you prepare your holiday celebrations, we urge you to think about the many people in our community who lack the resources to take care of themselves and their families, and face the harsh realities of poverty and hunger. One out of every four people in St. Louis Park accessed STEP, the St. Louis Park Emergency Program, at some time during the year. That statistic is alarming! However, YOU can help make a difference!
Adath Hesed will again sponsor an annual food drive for those in need. Food donated will be brought to STEP, the St. Louis Park Emergency Fund. STEP provides direct assistance and support services to residents of St. Louis Park targeting households with low incomes and those that face financial crisis. STEP is a food shelf but also offers much more. STEP provides social work services, transportation to medical appointments, emergency housing assistance, back to school supplies, and holiday toys for children. These support services help those in crisis get back on their feet.
Last year, Adath provided over 5000 pounds of food to STEP. That was good, but we can do even better with your help! This year our goal is to provide 6500 pounds! Please drop off 2 (or more) bags of food to Adath on Monday, September 21, 6:30-7:30 pm, Wednesday, September 23, 6:30-7:30 pm or Sunday, September 27, 12-1:30 pm. STEP especially needs cereal, canned meats/fish, quinoa, spices and condiments, dried beans or lentils, whole wheat pasta, pasta sauce, toilet paper and toothpaste. The food you donate today makes a difference whether those in need eat tomorrow.
Donating food is really important, but financial donations are great too! To donate, send a check to the Adath with Hesed in the memo line. A check for $36 or more puts you into our Hesed Giving Circle and enables Hesed to fight food insecurity. Your contribution provides help to all three food shelves, STEP, ICA and Prism, and supports “Loaves and Fishes” and “Our Savior’s Shelter. Whether you donate financially or bring canned or boxed food, hygiene products, baby food or paper supplies, you will be a Hesed hero for those in need.
Hesed has many opportunities to help the community:
