KABBALAT SHABBAT
Mitzvah of the Week
We are partnering with Hearts & Homes for Refugees, an organization supporting refugee and asylee families in Westchester Country, by conducting a school supplies drive. We are looking to provide backpacks with much-needed school supplies to 25+ children as they head to school in September. One of the families we are supporting in this drive is a newly arrived family that were victims of a fire in their building in the Bronx. They have two school-aged children. We are looking for the following items:
- Marble Notebooks
- Lined filler Paper
- 2-pocket folders
- Packs of #2 Pencils
- Packs of Pens
- Colored Pencils
- Colored Markers
- Glue Sticks
- Scissors
- Highlighters
- Erasers
- Yellow Post It Notes
- Index Cards
- Zipper Pencil Cases
- Casio FX 300 Scientific Calculator
You can bring the supplies to Shabbat services this week, 8/16, or contact Irina Kimelfeld at (646) 525-8983 (call or text) or ikimelfeld@gmail.com to coordinate pick up or drop off.
