Members of Temple Beth El continued their significant contributions to fighting hunger in our communities through two successful food drives this fall. Because of the High Holy Day Food Drive, Temple Beth El ranks number 4 overall in Second Harvest Foodbank’s annual Food & Fund Drives list. Temple members donated enough money to provide 28,758 meals!

In November, the Religious School held its annual contest to see which grade could bring the most food to fill Thanksgiving baskets for the Goodman Community Center. Our families almost filled up the coatroom with cans and boxes of cranberries, stuffing, and vegetables. The winners were the 4K and 5K classes, who together brought 96 boxes of macaroni and cheese! With these and other contributions, the Goodman Community Center was able to provide full Thanksgiving dinners for 3,900 families. Thanks to the families who brought food and all the kids who helped.
