Martin Luther King, Jr. Collections Drive for IDENTITY
Helping Vulnerable High School Students
One of the many racial equity issues exacerbated by COVID-19 has been educational inequity and the learning gap experienced by Black, Brown and poor children.
We are collecting warm winter hats/gloves/scarves, socks, toiletry items, and small games for these students. If you shop on our Amazon or Target wish lists, you can choose to have donations shipped directly to B’nai Israel.
Donations can be dropped off at B’nai Israel on Sunday, January 17, 10:00 AM–12:00 PM.
You can also contribute directly to Identity here. Please put “B’nai Israel” in the comments box.
For more information, contact Deedee Jacobsohn.
