Hand Up Food Pantry at Jewish Family Service : This year we again ask that you donate non-perishable food items for the Hand Up Food Pantry at JFS. Please bring your items with you when you come to the Al Bahr  Auditorium for services. Needed are canned fruits, vegetables, chicken, salmon and soup; boxed cereal and pasta, and other nutritious non-perishable items. We ask for your continued generosity in helping our hungry San Diego County neighbors. Learn more about the Food Pantry at http://www.jfssd.org

MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger : The Corners of Our Fields is a joint effort of the Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist movements and Hillel International to collect nonperishable food for local charities and funds for MAZON, which provides grants to nonprofit organizations confronting hunger throughout the world. As you look inward during these High Holy Days, MAZON asks that you reach outward to those in need. Please give to MAZON what you would have spent to feed yourself and your family on Yom Kippur. Funds raised will support MAZON’s grants to programs around the world providing food, help and hope to hungry people regardless of religious affiliation. Dor Hadash will donate 3% of the cost of the break-the-fast. Look for Mazon envelopes at services or donate online: http://www.mazon.org

If you are unable to attend, you can make a donation to Dor Hadash HERE
