Second Sunday of the month (during school year)

October - April • 10:00 - 11:15 am

Feed the Homeless is a social action program taking place monthly at Temple Jeremiah during the school year. The program requires little effort on the part of individual Jeremiahans but, through our combined effort, reaps great results.

We need all congregants to pitch in and bring lunches. Participating families bring a minimum of five sack lunches to the temple between 10:00 and 11:15 am, typically the second Sunday of the month when Religious School is in session. Volunteers then drive the lunches to a homeless shelter on the west side of Chicago.

Traditionally, families have chosen this project to complete the Mitzvah requirement of their child's Bar/Bat Mitzvah. However, increasingly we are finding young families of all ages taking part in this worthwhile endeavor. We encourage all Jeremiah families to participate.

Each lunch should consist of the following: 2 meat sandwiches Small bag of chips Fruit (such as an apple) 2 cookies

If every member of the congregation participated, think of the difference we could make to those less fortunate. For more information or to volunteer, contact the Social Action Committee.
