Tzedekah Bench Monthly Collections

At the Mt. Vernon Street entrance is a bench that opens for storage. We call this the Mitzvah Bench and use it to collect needed items throughout the year. On the last Sunday of the month, the bench will be emptied and all collected items will be delivered to those in need. The calendar of mitzvah items to be collected:
October 31: Coats and sweaters for the homeless
November 28: Underwear for the homeless
December 26: Diapers for kids in homeless shelters
January 30: Food for Philabundance
February 27: Cell phones for domestic violence victims
March 27: Underwear for the homeless
April 24: Diapers for kids in homeless shelters
May 29: Food for Philabundance
June 26: Underwear for the homeless
July 31: Diapers for kids in homeless shelters

Please note that collection details (sizes, new or used, conditions) will be announced in the Bulletin each month. If you are interested in volunteering to help collect and deliver items, please contact Rabbi Freedman at rabbifreedman@rodephshalom.org.
