ALIVE! Update

What's New With Alive!
 

Support Empty Bowls!
Saturday, March 8 
 
Thanks to everyone who helped ALIVE! raise a whopping $77,000-plus to help alleviate hunger and provide essential services to those in need in Alexandria. The evening sold out with more than 200 in attendance, an “incredible success” and a lot of fun to boot.
 
 
 
 
Metanot L’evyonim Update—Purim Help for the Needy
Give a rousing cheer to everyone who contributed food for ALIVE! to our own help for the needy Purim Food Drive. Congregants donated 325 pounds of food to help the 20,000 Alexandrians who each month count on ALIVE! for assistance. This drive is complete, but donations are always needed and always welcome. 
 

Move Furniture, Change Lives!
March 30, noon to 5 p.m.
 
Just twice a year, Agudas Achim as a congregation has the opportunity to change the lives of Alexandria families as they move into apartments from unstable housing situations. Just six congregants will have the chance on March 30 to see what a difference a few beds, a table and chairs, a sofa, or some dressers can make in the lives of people who have had nothing. Be part of the team picking up furniture from generous donors and delivering it to eager recipients. Can’t quite manage one corner of a couch? Lamps, sofa cushions, dresser drawers, kitchen chairs might be just your speed. Or you can hold a door open, navigate for the truck driver, find other ways to speed the project along. Act now, contact AAC ALIVE! rep Joan Hartman Moore at wordcrafter88@comcast.net to volunteer before all slots are filled. Individual congregants, their friends, families with teenagers and older—all are welcome.
 
 
Many Ways

Each month ALIVE! supports 20,000 Alexandrians needing assistance with food, furniture, housewares, housing, and emergency financial assistance. You can help.
