Repairing the world, one tube of toothpaste at a time...

Imagine having to go to work or school not feeling clean, or not having access to the basic products you need to feel comfortable and confident. Many local individuals and families face this dilemma every day, and the SNAP (food stamps) program doesn't allow the purchase of personal care products.

For the past 24 years, Temple Israel has been collecting and donating personal care items to the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry throughout the High Holy Days season to provide thousands of people with these essentials. It's a TI tradition to do this mitzvah together as a community.

Thank you to our Drive co-chairs Michael Bloom and Lisa & Steve Darrish.
