Personal Product Pouches for Purim

Join us in collaboration with the Rivertowns Jewish Consortium to fill pouches with personal care products and distribute to those in need. Pick up kits which will include: a pouch, a list of care products for those in need, a card for the recipients for you to color, and educational material.

Then use Zoom and/or Facebook live to join Rabbi Ben Newman and others for a community event on February 28; 2:00 PM

The event will include music, stories, a fun quiz game, and an opportunity to pack and decorate our pouches together. Pouches will be returned to the same location you picked them up and will be distributed to the following organizations: The Coachman Family Center (White Plains), The Oasis Shelter (New Rochelle), and Midnight Run (Dobbs Ferry).
