Mitzvah Boxes

Mitzvah Box Collections

You make a difference! Each month, we collect needed donations of food and other items for area food pantries, shelters and groups with our Mitzvah of the Month program. The receiving agency and the types of items are announced in the weekly e-newsletter. Our two Mitzvah Boxes are conveniently located in our parking lot near the handicapped parking spaces and our Sanctuary lobby. Drop off anytime!
