TIKKUN OLAM FOR FAMILIES IN CRISIS

The Family Violence Project is sponsored by Jewish Family Services of
the Jewish Federation. There are two emergency shelters for women and children fleeing violence in their homes, often with only the clothes on their backs. In one, the families may remain for 30 days; in the other they may remain for 90 days. The children range from infants to 12 years, and the mothers are generally in the 30's and 40's. The shelters are non-sectarian. Money, new clothing, new toys, and hygiene products are needed. They already have Von's script for food.

We have an ongoing collection of new clothing, new toys, hygiene products, and cash contributions from our membership. We are also inviting the other congregations that meet at St. Paul’s in our efforts. Please bring your items to services, and we will see that they are properly distributed.

To volunteer your assistance with this project, or for any questions,
please feel free to contact Naomi Drangle 818-894-1754.
