The Beth Am food pantry is open for a food drive collection during the 2nd and last Sunday of the month from 12 – 2 pm. In addition, food may be dropped off during regular office hours.
We will continue with the following procedures:
#1) food will be brought outside/curbside. Guests will not be allowed in the synagogue building.
#2) we will only have 6-10 volunteers MAXIMUM. Volunteers will be coordinated thru our food pantry chairpeople Barb K and Jane Z. Unless you are one of those 6-10 volunteers, we respectfully ask that you do not come to volunteer.
Also if people don’t have time to shop, but want to help feed the hungry, they are able to make a donation directed to our Food Pantry, and we will do the shopping for them. You can do so by clicking here:
