Sisterhood offers a variety of avenues to help those in need. Various programs take place each year, resulting in charitable contributions to many fine organizations.

• The High Holy Day Food Drive more than fills The ARK's trailer each year.
• Sisterhood's Chanukah Mitzvah Project, the "Wish Tags", generates gifts for numerous clients of the Jewish Children's Bureau and The ARK during the holiday season.
• The sale of Sisterhood's new cookbook raised much-needed funds for software at the Waukegan School District, as part of Temple Jeremiah's 2005/06 campaign to benefit the students there.
• In addition, Sisterhood's Annual Women's Seder supports SHALVA, an agency which works to prevent domestic abuse in Jewish households.

Thanks to everyone for their generosity.

High Holy Day Food Drive

Every High Holy Day season, Sisterhood collects Kosher food and non-food items from our congregants for donation to the ARK's Food Pantry, the only Kosher food pantry in the Midwest. Thanks to our congregants for their generous donations this year.

Chanukah Mitzvah Project

Wish Tags

Each year, Sisterhood, in cooperation with the ARK and Jewish Child and Family Services, sponsors the Chanukah Wish Tag program. The ARK provides Sisterhood with a list of "wishes" from its needy families - children and adults. Sisterhood places these tags in the temple lobby. The drive has resulted in a tremendous outpouring of gifts, from bicycles and DVDs to dolls, games and computer programs.
