TBE is entering the third year of our partnership with the Allied Wellness Center's Essentials Pantry. In 2022, generous TBE members contributed $4,700, which purchased thousands of critically needed health and hygiene products, such as toilet paper, paper towels, toothpaste, deodorant, razors, diapers, sanitizing wipes, tampons, shampoo, etc., as well as bus tickets, gas cards, and grocery cards. Allied Wellness Center is incredibly grateful to our community for this support, which especially during these difficult economic times.

Can you or your family help us fulfill this mitzvah now, during this month of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. commemorations? The most efficient way to stock the shelves is to donate money so we can buy in bulk. You can make your tax-deductible donation right on the Temple website (select Allied Wellness Center as the donation type). You can also mail a check to Temple Beth El (2702 Arbor Drive, Madison, WI 53711) with “Allied Wellness Center” in the memo. 

Alternatively, you can drop off any of the following items in the Temple Beth El coatroom, and we’ll make sure they get to the Allied Wellness Center. 

  • Bars of soap
  • Toothpaste
  • Toothbrushes
  • Body wash
  • Shampoo
  • Deodorant
  • Razors
  • Paper towels
  • Toilet paper
  • Hand sanitizer
  • Diapers (all sizes)
  • Diaper wipes
  • Tampons
  • Menstrual pads
  • Laundry detergent 
  • Laundry pods
  • Surface cleaners
  • Sponges
  • Dish detergent 

 The Allied Wellness Center also has an ongoing need for regular volunteers. Would you like to help purchase items with the donated funds and deliver them to the Wellness Center, and/or stock the pantry shelves? If interested, contact Betsy Abramson, co-chair of TBE’s Racial Justice Action Team, at betsyabramson@gmail.com or 608-332-7867.
