Each year, Temple Emanuel hosts a Yom Kippur Food Drive in the spirit of tikkun olam. At the height of the pandemic, our community raised $18,000 to feed our food-insecure neighbors. Prior to the pandemic, we collected 4,000 pounds of non-perishable foods, paper good and household supplies.

This year we're offering a hybrid approach for your convenience. Donate money using this form or bring a bag of non-perishable food and paper goods to the temple on Yom Kippur.

Paper bags to fill with non-perishable foods, paper goods and household supplies will be available in the lobby at Rosh Hashanah. Suggested donations include coffee, tea, sugar, sweetener, mustard, ketchup, canned vegetables, tomato sauce, soup, napkins, paper towels, toothpaste, soap and dishwashing liquid. A friendly reminder that diet products, expired and opened packages of food will be thrown out. Please, no glass! We will deliver the bags to the Bread & Roses food pantry in Lawrence. Thanks for your continued support.
