YES WE CAN!

For their mitzvah project, Will & Hugo are coordinating the first annual Temple Sholom School Community Yes We Can! - A Thanksgiving in a Bag Food Drive in partnership with Nourishing Hope.

Each student in each grade is asked to bring in 2 items. When all the items are put together, it will make multiple bags filled with all the non-perishable ingredients a food insecure family will need to create a delicious Thanksgiving meal.

How can you help? You can support this drive by joining our packing party on Sunday November 12 at Temple Sholom and donating any items from the list below. Please text 203 912 6924 to coordinate item drop off.

You can also make a contribution to organizations that helps food insecure families in your community. For Will & Hugo in Chicago it’s Nourishing Hope. And in Brooklyn, it’s CHIPS. To find a great organization in your neighborhood, check out this site.
