Sisterhood appreciates prior congregation member monetary donations provided in previous years to support the Alexandria Carpenter’s Shelter holiday meal and clients’ needs in the upcoming year.  We invite our members to again submit monetary donations to support this worthy organization no later than December 20^th.  After speaking with Shelter Staff, funding will be used to support their identified “Cards for Compassion” adult residence gift program and the remaining funds will be donated, as in past years, for the Shelter Staff to use as needed to support Shelter clients during 2025.  Please submit your monetary donation through ShulCloud identifying “Agudas Achim Sisterhood, Carpenter’s Shelter Support”, or mail a check to the Shul, made payable to “Agudas Achim Sisterhood”, with an annotation in the memo line “Carpenter’s Shelter Support”.  Please email lisa.bregman@verizon.net with the specific donation amount and date submitted.  This allows Sisterhood to know how much funding is available without contacting Shul Office personnel.  If anyone prefers to donate Target gift cards, the Shelter’s preferred gift card, they are also welcome and should be mailed to the Shul or hand carried and put in the Sisterhood mailbox, with the envelope marked for “Agudas Achim Sisterhood, Carpenter’s Shelter Support”.  Sisterhood will send remaining funds and gift cards received after December 20^th to the shelter in early January.
