High Holidays Tzedakah Project
High Holidays Tzedakah Project
High Holidays tzedakah project items can be brought to the Tiffany Center on the first day of Rosh Hashanah and on Yom Kippur. We will have containers at Havurah for the second day of Rosh Hashanah.
In our endeavor to support the homeless in Portland, we volunteer with Portland Homeless Family Solutions (PHFS). PHFS’s recent purchase of a building will expand its ability to help more parents, guardians, and their children. From eight families at 13 Salmon and Goose Hollow, PHFS will soon be serving 26 families in just one location in the Lents neighborhood.
Our High Holidays tzedakah project this year is to help supply PHFS with needed items for this transition. Please note that all items on the list (below) must be new.
