Holiday Snowflake Project through December 15, 2024
This year once again, we will be helping to make the holiday wishes come true for the children identified by the coordinator at the Weller Road Elementary School. Click here for the wish list of several children in need.
Please note that we are also asking for donations of Target gift cards (in denominations of $5, $10, $15, $20, or $25). These donations go a long way toward helping us to fulfill the wishes of those children who are not otherwise selected and, if possible, to provide hats and gloves for these children, as well.
You may drop off your unwrapped purchases identified as Snowflake Gift with child and gift identification,on Mitzvah Day, Sunday, December 15 or before the 15th to Rachel Hyman at B'nai Israel. The 15th is the last day to drop off gifts as the staff from Weller Road will be picking up the gifts on Monday morning, December 16.
Regardless of whether you choose to delight one child or an entire family, this is a wonderful way to do a mitzvah and to help make the holidays brighter for those children who otherwise may not receive anything at this time of year.
Please review the available slots here and click on the button to sign up. Thank you!
