As we approach Rosh Hashana and the entire month of Tishrei, some might be filled with anticipation and excitement.
Others are filled with anxiety and dread.
Last-minute trips to the grocery store for treats or piles of unpaid bills?
Matching socks and bows in trending fall colors or last year’s hand-me-downs? Elaborate pomegranate-infused flanken roast or, “I’m sorry honey, chicken will have to do”?
Which category do you fall into?
Are you from the lucky ones among us, who, despite rising costs and economic distress, can afford to feed their families and clothe them with dignity?
For 1,800 families in the greater Lakewood area, the reality is stark and grim.
They can’t make ends meet and need the help of their fellow community members to get through this stressful, albeit exciting, time of year.
Let’s give a hand and fill their pantry. Let’s show them they’re not alone. We have their back and will fill their fridge.
