HIGH HOLY DAYS FOOD DRIVE

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 Conejo Valley Manna Food Bank (mannaconejo.org), a 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.

DONATION DROP-OFF INFORMATION – 2023

► When you arrive for Yom Kippur Services, drive through the front of TAE to drop off the food before going on to park.

FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS ACCEPTED

If you are unable to drop off food, or want to make an even bigger difference, make a financial donation to Manna rather than shopping for your donation. Their non-profit, bulk purchasing power allows the money you donate to go even further.

Financial contributions can be made payable Manna and mailed to temple so that we may present them collectively to the Manna.
