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.
