A Day for HOPE will be observed in our community this Thursday, June 23, as a call to action to focus on the needs of our neighbors. Beth El will be supporting this effort by collecting non-perishable items for the HOPE's food pantry. Most needed items: cereal, pasta sauce, canned vegetables, canned fruits, meals-in-a-can (ravioli, beef stew, etc.), rice, and tuna. Please bring food donations to the Beth El lobby by this Thursday morning!
