Food Bank Needs Help!
Our Food Bank finds itself in financial need. Please consider making a donation to the food bank so we can continue to help feed the hungry in Grand Rapids. A donation to the food bank is state tax credit. For those of you who have made donations to our Food Bank, we extend our deepest gratitude. Your generosity will help feed many hungry families in Grand Rapids.

COLLEGE OUTREACH
It is that time again when we start thinking about sending our children off to college. The URJ (Union for Reform Judaism) offers many different programs and services to Reform college students to help them have fulfilling Jewish experiences in college, including a free trip to Israel. It is important for congregations to "stay in touch" with their students and to offer a link to the many opportunities provided by the URJ, as well as provide the tools to help stay connected to faith and tradition. When you know your child's school address, please download and complete the College Outreach form and mail it back to Temple, or email the information to: blumahleah@hotmail.com. If you are interested in helping to work on the holiday packages, please email me at: blumahleah@hotmail.com.

Data Base Update
We are still collecting email addresses. If you have not sent your email address to Temple or if your address has changed in the past few months, please email Mary@TempleEmanuelGR.org at the Temple office. Thank you.

Mitzvah Meals
The Temple has prepared (home made meals) for those who are shut in, ill or bereaved. If you know of someone who might benefit from this, please call Mary at the Temple office, 459-5976. We will see to it that meals are delivered for the family. We can only be of assistance if we are made aware of the need. Thank you for letting us know so we can help.
