    Help to deliver food packages to Russian elderly

    Here's how Maot Chitim's deliveries operate ...
    About 1/2 our boxes go out on trucks which each stop at 3 or 4 buildings. At each building, the truck is met by a volunteer "building crew" which off-loads the boxes and delivers them to the recipients.

    These volunteer "building crews" generally don't speak any Russian, and with the large number of recipients who speak Russian but little English, communications can be difficult.

    It would be a big help to us if you could arrange to have a translator meet each "building crew" on the morning of Sunday September 17 to help. We would supply you with a list of building addresses, the time when the truck is scheduled to arrive there, and the name of the crew chief.

    Please contact Mike Horowitz or call 708-807-5945
