December/January Fund in Focus: Hunger and Homelessness Fund
Local organizations providing food and shelter are facing a high demand for services from the increasing number of people affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially as unemployment benefits run out for some. Your contribution helps the Beth Am community fulfill our sacred obligation to comfort and support the less fortunate in our midst. Donations to our Hunger & Homelessness Fund get distributed to the following organizations serving the needy in our local community:
● Jewish Family and Children’s Services
● Ecumenical Hunger Program
● LifeMoves
● Home & Hope
● Community Services Agency
● Second Harvest Food Bank
● Habitat for Humanity
Please consider making a gift to Beth Am’s Hunger and Homelessness Fund by donating online or by mailing a check made payable to “Congregation Beth Am” to the Administrative Office as follows:
Congregation Beth Am
