GOOD DEEDS DAY: DONATIONS NEEDED - 4/29

As part of the Federation's Good Deeds Day, DC Minyan is co-sponsoring an event with the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Washington and in collaboration with HIAS. We will be assembling care packages for families seeking asylum who are in need of various basic items for their young children. There are two ways to participate:

• We need your help collecting and purchasing items for the care packages in advance! Please indicate here if you have any items you would like to donate and someone will reach out to you to coordinate drop off/pick up. We will also have bins for collecting items at DC Minyan throughout April, so feel free to bring your donations to shul instead. There is also an Amazon.com wishlist where you can make small but impactful purchases to help out.
• Please sign up for our Good Deeds Day event which will take place at the Edlavitch DCJCC on Sunday April 29th, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. This event is family-friendly and will involve assembling the care packages and decorating cards to be included with them.  

Your generosity is greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you on the 29th!
