BE ONE OF THE HELPERS

The Lakeview Food Pantry has reached out to Am Shalom for help restocking its shelves. Most needed items are unopened, unexpired peanut butter, canned tuna, canned vegetables, oatmeal and canned fruit. We are collecting items in a container just outside of the main temple entrance. The container will be there through the end of April. Thank you, in advance, for your donations.
