On Sunday, November 17th members of Adath's Social Action Committee packed up the Thanksgiving donations they have been collecting since Rosh Hashanah for twenty six families. The food will be distributed through Found House Interfaith Housing Network here in Cincinnati. Over three large bins were filled with donations from our congregation with items such as large disposable roasting pans, canned veggies, canned cranberry sauce, canned gravy, stuffing mix, cake and cookie mixes, $25 Kroger and Visa gift cards, and cooking oil.
Trinity Johnson, chair of the Social Action Committee, said, "Thank you for supporting the Social Action Committee's Thanksgiving food drive for Found House families! The 26 meal kits will be delivered just in time for families to enjoy a nice holiday together." Pictured above are Rebecca Goldwasser, Debbie Lempert, Natalie Wolf, Glenda Bernstein, and Trinity Johnson. Not pictured is Gilda Schwartz, who I also saw helping out on Sunday.
