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.” 

(Shearith Israel Shelter volunteers)

Congregation Beth Shalom has made a commitment to cook dinners for the Shelter at Shearith Israel called Rebecca’s Tent from Sunday, January 16 to Saturday, January 22, 2022. Shearith Israel’s Shelter for Homeless Women provides temporary housing for women in transition and assists these                                                                                            women in getting their lives back together.

Volunteers are needed to cook/purchase 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 our Girl Scout Troop to cook for the shelter. We especially need people to transport the food. Our volunteers found it very meaningful to help others in such an important way.
