While many of us will voluntarily fast on Yom Kippur – too many in our local community face involuntary fasts because they lack sufficient money for food. You can make a difference!
Our food donations go to Manna (mannaconejo.org), our local food pantry that provides assistance to seniors and to others experiencing temporary setbacks and emergencies. Manna can only do its important work because of donations like ours.
