Thanks to Gina Gory, a preschool teacher at Congregation Etz Chaim, for the information and photos:
Congregation Etz Chaim, along with the Atlanta Community at large is collecting food items between now and the end of October. These items will go the the Atlanta Community Food Bank and the Kosher items will be separated out and given to Jewish Family and Career.
It’s never too early to inspire our youth about the spirit of charity and giving back. The three year old Puppy class and their families donated several food items to help the cause. By participating in this event we are encouraging them to grow up with a healthy sense of compassion and a strong charitable spirit.
Upon depositing items in the collection bins we asked how this act of Tzedakah (charitable giving as a moral obligation) made them feel.
“My heart felt good. I felt happy. I felt better.”
Please consider donating your non-perishable food items to the Etz Chaim Lobby to benefit the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
Congregation Etz Chaim is located at 1190 Indian Hills Parkway.
