Please invite and bring as many people as you can with you. This is a kid-friendly event.

Time to do a good deed and to give back to the community.

Please join us in this mitzvah (good deed). Most of you have done this already, and this is a great opportunity for us to this great good deed together.

We will get together at the Tomchei Shabbos warehouse in the La Brea area (for location on google maps, go to http://goo.gl/maps/sxe1) at 5:30 PM. (Directions from La Brea: Entrance is on the Right at the first set of Red Gates closest to La Brea; Upon entering the gates, head east (toward Formosa); The Tomchei Shabbos Warehouse is located at the farthest East end of the lot.) Mr Steve Berger will spend a few minutes with us describing the background for Tomchei Shabbos and how it operates.

Afterwards, you will have the choice of helping with packing and shipping, or with the delievery of food to the needy.

Founded in 1977, Tomchei Shabbos of Los Angeles has been lovingly providing essential Shabbat food packages to thousands of needy Jewish families in our community.

Every week, our warehouses come alive with volunteers filling rows of boxes with eggs, milk, fruits, vegetables, challah, wine, candles and everything else a family needs to make Shabbos special. The boxes are then delivered with the outmost discretion and care to the privacy of the recipient.

Tomchei Shabbos is entirely supported by the compassion and generosity of financial support, time and resources of the Los Angeles Jewish community.
