Temple Collects Food for CHOW
Temple B’nai Abraham's Social Action Committee is responding to the urgent need for donations of non-perishable foods and other staples by conducting an emergency food drive until June 15. The temple is collaborating with Livingston’s St. Philomena’s Church and their community outreach person, Sister Barbara Thomas, who has organized CHOW (Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse).
Through this effort, necessary items are being collected from numerous local congregations, groups and businesses and stored at St. Philomena’s. From there, they are distributed to soup kitchens and food pantries in Newark, Orange and East Orange. Open to families on a drop-in basis, the St. Philomena warehouse serves local residents as well. B'nai Abraham will also make deliveries to the kosher food pantry housed at Oheb Shalom congregation in South Orange, in addition to the donations to CHOW.
