The spirit of coming together

By Diane Schwartz

Collier/Lee Hadassah members took their Woman to Woman and Girls project to Temple Shalom’s Mitzvah Day, organized by the Temple’s Tikkun Olam Volunteers Committee.

It was a day of coming together to support community efforts throughout Collier County. Volunteers packed 10,000 meals for Meals of Hope, participated in the Empty Bowls project, had a collection for and packed Bedtime Bundles, participated in Beading for Betterment and made dog biscuits for the animal shelter, among other efforts. The Woman to Woman and Girls project collected 3,491 feminine hygiene products.

The Woman to Woman and Girls project collects feminine hygiene products for women and girls who cannot afford them. Hadassah then joins with the Alliance for Period Supplies of SWFL who distributes products to over 200 organizations, food pantries, school systems, and more, across Collier and Lee counties.

There were so many ways to help heal our world!
