We Give - And Thanks
As we are comfortably seated at our Thanksgiving tables, having that third slice of pie, let us not forget those who are not as fortunate. In Israel where it is a regular Thursday, a recovery effort that will take months (if not years) is underway. We have and will continue to support communities there along with members of the 141 Jewish Federations in North America.
We will, as always, continue to support local causes too like TI, the Holocaust Center at BCC, and the PJ Library - to name a few.
As we head into winter, I ask that in addition to opening your wallet you also open your closet and look for coats you don't really need or use (I found two) and donate those to the homeless in New Bedford. Ken Shwartz and his dedicated team of volunteers - as they have for many years now - prepare food weekly at St. Paul's United Methodist Church to distribute to people in need at the Salvation Army parking lot. There is a need for coats at the moment. If you can bring any to our office or to St. Paul's Church soon you will help change a life or, at a minimum, make someone warmer. Don't wait for the next mailing to donate to the Federation and don't wait for the next storm to donate that coat.
Enjoy the holiday and thank you for all that you do to make this world a better place.
