On our annual Midnight Run, our teens have conversations and meaningful interactions with homeless folks in NYC. We also offer food, coffee, clothing, and toiletries.

The whole congregation can help us by donating supplies to support the Run. We will gratefully accept your generous donations through January 12th. Please drop off items in the bins located in the main synagogue lobby.
Help us by donating these items:
Toiletry items: soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, lip balm, and moisturizer, razors and shaving cream. All new, unopened travel sizes. Any collections from hotel visits are perfect!
List in order of need:
DO NOT donate sandals, lightweight coats, items in light colors that will easily stain, business casual attire, etc.
Interested in a large donation? Please email Morel Tomer Ish Yemini, Teen Engagement Coordinator Youth House, at YH@tign.org so we can discuss how you can have the most significant impact.
