Interfaith Community Council School Dressing Days

 

School Dressing Days provides a complete new outfit and used clothing in good condition to over 900 Fredericksburg area school children each August. 

Beth Sholom Temple is a member of the Interfaith Community Council and has been asked to donate new girls’ underpants in sizes 4 through 12. 

 

Clean used clothing in good condition is also needed.  Please bring your donations to the Temple and leave them in the coat closet labeled for school dressing days. 
 
All donations need to be received by July 25th.

 

Volunteers are needed to help students pick out clothing Aug. 2 from 9:00 to 4:00 and on Aug.4th and 5th from 9:00 to 2:00 at Bragg Hill Family Life Center. 

 

Please contact me if you are available to volunteer and when.  Thank you for your donations.

Dear friends,
 
As you are aware, we are in the midst of a fundraising campaign for our family in Israel, the Amsalems. I am delighted to let you know that I have been offered matching funds for all donations received in the next two weeks, up to $1000. Your kind donation will be doubled, enabling us to help our family receive the money they desperately need for food, electricity, and a move toward independence. A very heartfelt thank you to Carl and Maxine Silver for their generous support of Yachdav and the Amsalem family.
 
If you've been delaying in sending a check, I'm hoping this will motivate you to put pen to paper! Please make your checks payable to Yachdav Foundation [100% tax-deductible; every single penny goes toward the family's support] and send it either to Beth Sholom, or to me, and I will make sure it gets doubled and sent on to Israel.
 
Thank you Beth Sholom family, as always, for your generous support. And special thanks to those of you who have already responded with your wonderful donations.
 
L'shalom,
Ronda Young
