SUMMER CLOTHES AND GIFT CARDS NEEDED FOR JCARR CHILDREN
JCARR children, like all children, grow a lot from season to season.  For his Bar Mitzvah project, Emile Stanley is working to provide summer clothing needed by JCARR children.  He is collecting gift cards and gently used clothing for these JCARR children:
Boys: ages 1, 3, 11, 14, 16   AND  Girls: ages 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 17, 18
Gift cards for stores including Target, Burlington Coat Factory, Kohls and Walmart can be emailed to Emile’s mother, or given to a synagogue liaison for JCARR.

There are two drop off places – Njeri and Emile’s home (garage in the back of the house) 192 Bishop street, New Haven, CT.  We also have a box at BEKI - 85 Harrison street, New Haven, CT. Both places will be available for drop off until June 30th. For more information, please contact Emile’s mother:  Njeri Thande, nkthande@gmail.com, 734 223 3451.

Family 5 has a new raised bed that needs to be filled with garden soil. If you can donate a bag(s) please email Daphne Geismar at daphne.geismar@gmail.com. She will confirm and give you instructions to drop off the bag(s).
