Social Action

Thank you to Susie Field and Jill Olefsky for organizing, collecting, sorting, and counting more than 800 books for Bernie’s Book Bank. Bernie’s books were excited to have received all these donated items just in time for their Back-to-School event. Parents were thrilled to be able to choose from so many new and gently used books for their children. In addition, $450 was donated to Bernie’s Book Bank from monies collected at our Daniel Silva Program on July 28th . Kol HaKavod to everyone who donated!

“Save Your Soles!”

During the month of October, we will be collecting all sorts of athletic footwear to donate to Nike who will turn donations into opportunities. Nike partners with organizations that help people facing disasters and other challenging circumstances with shoes. The unwearable shoes are recycled for the rubber in a product called “Nike Grind.” Nike Grind takes the rubber and turns it into playground surfaces, basketball courts, and indoor flooring.

What can you donate?

 Any brand, size, or style athletic shoe  No cleats or spikes  No sandals, dress shoes or boots Bins for the collection will be located near the coat room. Need more information please email Suzy Hakimian SocialActionVP@bethshalomnb.org
