Family Promise North Shore is based in Evanston and works with approximately 30 congregations in the North Shore\, includi ng Am Yisrael and five other synagogues. We encourage you to read more abo ut the work of Family Promise: \;https://www.familypromisechicagons.or g/ \;\n\nNow is the perfect time to join together with our community a s we again host Family Promise at Am Yisrael. \; We hope you will help us welcome our guests June 30 through July 7.\n\nYou and your family can choose a shift – either serving and eating dinner with our guests\, or s pending the night at the synagogue. You can also volunteer to donate food for lunches that our volunteers pack each day and send off with our guests in the morning. The initial food shopping for lunches has already been ta ken care of\, but if you are interested in shopping for food\, you can sig n up to be a mid-week "shopper" if we run out of some items. If you sign u p to serve as a mid-week food shopper\, we will provide you with instructi ons on specific items to purchase\, including appropriate kashrut informat ion\, specific brands\, etc. All food donations will have to be store boug ht and provided in unopened packages. \;\n\nAs a Jewish community\, we have spent the last few months feeling a range of emotions\, including th e fear and isolation that comes from rising anti-Semitism and also the hop e and promise of our collective actions in response to unsettling threats. We urge you to consider getting involved in Family Promise now as a way t o get to know our neighbors on the North Shore and as a way to build rich\ , diverse networks of community support.\n\nHeaded up by Annette Doherty a nd Aleeza Strubel\, \; we have a loyal and reliable pool of volunteers \, but we are always looking to increase our numbers.\n\nContact \;Ann ette \;or \;Aleeza for more information.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \;\ n\n\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.amyisrael.org/wp-content/uploads/202 2/12/family-promise-logo.jpg CATEGORIES:Family Promise END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Chicago X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Chicago BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:CDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
