Tzedakah, Tikkun Olam and Social Action

Isaiah was a prophet whose words are read each year on Yom Kippur.  Join the Savannah Jewish Federation and Jewish Family Services during Operation Isaiah by doing a mitzvah this High Holiday season and donating food to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank. Donation barrels are located at Congregation Mickve Israel, Congregation Agudath Achim, Congregation B’nai Brith Jacob, Jewish Education Alliance, Rambam Day School, Chabad of Savannah.  Visit WWW.SAVJ.org to make a monetary donation.

We are beginning our 16th year providing weekend meals and school supplies to children at The Early Learning Center (formerly East Broad Elementary), Shuman Elementary and STEM Academy. We invite you to help us with packaged meals, healthy snacks, and school supplies again this year. Below are sample items that will help the children be nourished and ready to learn.
 
Packaged Foods: canned chicken or tuna, Mac/Cheese, canned meals (such as Chef Boy-ar-dee ravioli, stews, beans and franks), fruit juices, or fruit cups, raisins, cereal, shelf-stable milk (plain or chocolate), pudding cups, sandwich crackers (peanut butter or cheese), applesauce cups, trail mixes or healthy snacks and cookies.
 
School Supplies: #2 pencils, pink erasers, spiral notebooks (wide ruled) glue sticks,

These items may be placed in the barrel located in the atrium and in the back of the sanctuary.
