MITZVAH day rev

Mitzvah Day August 27

Thursday, July 13, 2023

The New Reform Temple will bring together volunteers, of all ages, to lend their time and love in helping with various projects in the Kansas City community. This year we will have off-site and at-home activities, along with a donation drive that will help improve the lives of others.

For details & to sign up, click here!

Our off-site options are: Mitzvah Garden KC, Manheim Gardens, Village Shalom, Kansas City Hospice House, and Jewish Family Services Brookside Food Pantry. Deadline to sign up is August 23.

At home activity:  Bake Cookies for Firefighters. Bake your favorite cookies and put them in a small container or bag, with a thank you card for our wonderful helpers. Drop them off at your local Fire Station.

Donations in our community: Show You Care with Underwear and Socks for Operation Breakthrough! NRT is collecting new underwear and socks for Operation Breakthrough students, size 3 toddler-size 8 (youth medium). This is a loving, safe and nurturing environment for children in poverty. Their vision has always been for all children to have the opportunity to achieve their full potential. A container will be outside the front door, at NRT, for donations, August 18-27.
