A heartfelt thank you to the congregants of Temple B'nai B'rith for donating an amazing 238 pounds of food through their Yom Kippur Food Drive to Sara’s Table at the Kraus Chaiken Food Pantry! ❤️🥫

These donations are already making an impact, helping us fill the bags that were distributed to local families last Friday.

Thank you for helping us care for our neighbors and strengthen our community. Todah rabah!
