Food drive preparations

Posted

Recently, representatives from the three religious groups on Aquidneck Island, the Newport Havurah, Temple Shalom and Touro Synagogue, prepared the shopping bags for the annual community High Holiday food drive.

The bags will be distributed and collected at each house of worship during the High Holy Days. Food collected is split between the Louis & Goldie Chester Full Plate Kosher Food Pantry in Providence and the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center in Newport.
