Social Action Spotlight

 Gift Card Donations Requested
In July and August, join us to support JFS by donating gift cards to places like Walmart , Kroger , and Food Lion . Our local Jewish Family Services (JFS) office has very little storage space for canned goods or other donations, and gift cards allow people to buy fresh produce milk, juice, etc.

 Jewish Climate Leadership Coalition
What improvements can Rodef Sholom make to reduce waste and be more environmentally friendly? All ideas are good ideas! Please be in touch: socialaction@rodefsholomtemple.org .

 Toiletries Requested
The Social Action Committee is collecting toiletries  (feminine hygiene products, shampoo, soaps, toothpaste, toothbrushes, combs, deodorants, etc,) to donate to the homeless, those experiencing housing insecurity, and others in need. Both full-sized and single-use toiletries are welcome. Please drop them off outside the RST office.
