Help stock the Kosher Food Pantry

Posted

This Hanukkah is a special time of the year as we will also be celebrating Thanksgiving on the same day. This technically has never happened before. Sadly, poverty and hunger are issues some Rhode Islanders deal with on a daily basis.

As we reflect on the miracle of Hanukkah while giving thanks, we turn to the community at large. We light 44 candles throughout the holiday. We are asking you to donate $44 to represent the hope that each candle stands for. While we know the miracle of Hanukkah is that the oil lasted for eight days, imagine the struggle of those who use the Louis and Goldie Chester Full Plate Kosher Food Pantry, to make food last for their family.

With the help of your donation we can create new miracles by helping to fill the shelves of the pantry and we say thank you on behalf of those whom we proudly serve at the pantry.

The Chester Pantry is a partner agency with the Jewish Alliance of Rhode Island.

“A candle is a small thing.
But one candle can light another. And see how its own light increases,
as a candle gives its flame to the other. You are such a light.” Moshe Davis and Victor Ratner

thank you for keeping the flames of hope this Hanukkah and Thanksgiving season alive for those who truly need it.

Donations can be sent to Jewish Seniors Agency/Full Plate, 100 Niantic Avenue, Providence, RI. Please contact Susan Adler at   621-5374. Donations can also be made online at jsari.org.
