HELP DELIVER ROSH HASHANAH FOOD BASKETS

SPECIAL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY!  DO A GREAT MITZVAH!


HELP DELIVER ROSH HASHANAH FOOD BASKETS TO NEEDY JEWISH FAMILIES

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 - 9:00-11:30 AM

The annual Rosh HaShanah Food Delivery is conducted by Maot Chitim of
Greater Chicago.  www.maotchitim.org.  More than 5,000 packages need to be
delivered, more than 12,000 people are assisted by these gifts. Delivering
these food baskets is a great mitzvah.



There are three options for the Loyola community to help.  Pick the one
that suits your best.

OPTION ONE:

If you can drive to the Warehouse Location in Niles, Illinois -
7500 N. Caldwell Ave.  Exact directions on www.maotchitim.org.  Click on
Volunteers and then on Location.

Drive to warehouse, tell them how many packages you want to deliver and in
what area.  They have recipient families divided by location.  You do
not have to return back to warehouse.  The whole process from pick-up to
delivery will not take more than 2 hours.  You can deliver in an area near
your home.  You receive cards with the names and address of families.
They are home waiting for these deliveries.  You are able to personally
wish them a Happy Rosh HaShanah.

There should be at least two people per car for delivery.  Leave room in
your car for the food boxes.


OPTION TWO:

For those who live on campus, some volunteers will drive food baskets to
Hillel, and we will deliver them in the area around Loyola.  If you want
to help deliver, sign up in Hillel or email Patti Ray at pray@luc.edu.  If
you can drive to the Warehouse and bring packages to Loyola, also sign up
in Hillel or email Patti Ray.

We will meet in front of Mundelein at 10:30 AM.


OPTION THREE:

For Russian speaking students, help is needed across the street at the
Babushkin Dom.  There are so many residents there who receive food
baskets, a truck comes to deliver; and volunteers are needed for that
process between 9-11:30 AM.

If you are interested in helping that morning at the Babushkin Dom, please
sign up in Hillel or email Patti Ray at pray@luc.edu.


It will make your New Year better to participate in helping make the Rosh
HaShanah of others better.
