Help the Shearith Israel Homeless Shelter

 Rebecca’s Tent

“Volunteering gives me an opportunity to give back to my community.”

    “It feels good to help others.” (Rebecca’s Tent volunteers)

Congregation Beth Shalom has made a commitment to cook dinners for Rebecca’s Tent Shelter at Congregation Shearith Israel from Sunday, January 17 to Saturday, January 23, 2021. This Shelter for Homeless Women provides temporary housing for women in transition and assists these women in getting their lives back together.

Sisterhood will be providing meals for Sunday, January 17th.

Volunteers are needed to help cook or purchase kosher or non-kosher meals for approximately 8 women and/or transport the food to the shelter. We are looking for  individual congregants along with groups like Sisterhood, Men’s Club, USY/Kadima, Preschool, and Scout Troops to volunteer.  This is a wonderful way for adults and children to help others in such an important way.
