High Holidays Tikkun Olam Tzedakah
Author | |
Date Added |
Havurah Shalom High Holiday Tikkun Olam Tzedakah project donations can be dropped off in containers on the fourth floor of the Tiffany Center during High Holidays.
Over this past year, Havurahniks have volunteered countless hours of direct service with two local organizations helping families get settled in new homes. Portland Homeless Family Solutions (PHFS) supports homeless families at the Goose Hollow Family Shelter transition to new homes and Catholic Charities supports new refugees arriving in Portland. To further support this work, this year's Havurah High Holiday Tikkun Olam Tzedakah Project will be, as it was last year, to collect household items that will be used by PHFS and Catholic Charities in creating Welcome Baskets for the families each organization helps.
Oregon’s homeless and refugee families have already faced tremendous challenges, but our collective support offers needed supplies as these families start their new lives. This High Holiday season you can help by bringing some of the specific new and unused household items from the Welcome Baskets list below. Containers to put all donated items in will be set up on the fourth floor of the Tiffany Center. Tikkun Olam Committee members will be coordinating the delivery of your generously donated items to the PHFS/Goose Hollow Shelter and to Catholic Charities.
PHFS and Catholic Charities Welcome Basket list:
• Trash Cans (13-gallon; Kitchen, Bathroom)
• Household Cleaners • Garbage Bags (tall and regular)
• Sponges
• Dish Soap
• Hand Soap
• Laundry Detergent
• Shower Curtains
• Shower Curtain Rings
• Dust Pan and Hand Broom
• Dish Racks/Sink Sets
