Surprising Centerpieces

Yesterday after services, I walked into the social hall and in the middle of every table was a bag of brown rices and boxes of raisins as the centerpiece. What a nice surprise! Somebody had the great idea of using the food that we are now collecting as centerpieces which could be donated to Family Table ofter the Kiddush was over. This is so welcome because collecting food in August for the September distribution is a big challenge when so many members of the community are on vacation. This week I will have to find out who planned this so I can thank them.

Brown Rice and Raisins

Today I stopped by TE to put up new signs for Family Table on the bulletin boards as reminders that we are now collecting brown rice and raisins. I was excited to find one box of raisins and one bag of brown rice in the collection bin. A new year of collections is officially underway. All items contributed now will be distributed on Sunday, September 12.
