Join us as we come together to perform one of the mitzvot of Purim, matanot l'evyonim (giving to the needy), and support Monmouth County's homeless community. This will be a socially distant, outdoor event where we will assemble 200 Blessing Bags (small assortments of basic toiletries and snacks in a ziplock bag). The bags will be distributed by The Blessing Bag Brigade of NJ, a non-profit organization dedicated to showing compassion and humanitarianism towards the homeless.

We are looking for volunteers to help assemble bags as well as individuals willing to donate supplies. Our goal is to collect 200 of each item in increments of 24 or 25. (Quantities can vary depending upon how items are packaged.) Donations can be purchased privately or through the Amazon wishlist link provided by Blessing Bag Brigade (found on the sign-up genius website above). All supplies must be dropped off at the temple by Feb. 11th.
