Hesed Volunteers
A small group through Hesed prepared a lovely meal recently for the residents of Our Saviour's Shelter. Two of our Hesed Heros, Sheryl and Gabriel Cooper went to great lengths to bake three types of luscious desserts for the shelter’s residents! We hope to volunteer more this fall and winter. However, due to the Delta variant, Hesed will be making decisions one day at a time following the guidance from Adath leadership, the CDC and local officials in order to ensure everyone’s safety. We are asking all Hesed volunteers to be completely vaccinated and wear masks in order to prevent spread. It’s a huge Mitzvah to volunteer, but it’s critical we make sure everyone is safe!
L’Shannah Tovah from Hesed! Wishing everyone a healthy, happy and blessed New Year!
Join Hesed's Giving Circle
Donate a minimum of $36 or three hours of volunteer time at one of these food shelves and become part of Hesed's Giving Circle. Giving Circle Members: 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. |

Organizations we work with
“Each year on Purim we recount our ancestors’ efforts to protect us from unfathomable evil. In their spirit, this year we must continue to advocate for the most vulnerable among us. At a time when millions of Americans are struggling to put food on the table and the COVID-19 pandemic continues to exacerbate food insecurity, I hope you will join in standing up against the injustice of hunger, and support MAZON. With your support, we can secure a world in which people of all faiths and backgrounds can feed themselves and their families with dignity.”
