Kehillat Kesher Participates in the 19th Bergen County Toydrive
December 04, 2011
The annual Chanukah Toy Drive, a unique opportunity to bring the joy of Chanukah to Jewish children less fortunate than our own, is underway. Presents are distributed in our area at Chanukah parties held by organizations such as Tomorrow's Children Institute, Jewish Family Services, Project Ezrah, Tomchei Shabbos of Bergen County, UJC, Bikur Cholim, Bris Avrohom, Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, Ohel Children's Home, OTSAR, Tikva-Odessa, The Ukraine, Sharsheret, Emunah, Chai Lifeline, Shelter Our Sisters, Shaare Zedek Hospital.
WHAT WE'RE COLLECTING: As many new, unwrapped items that can fit in your car (or within your budget!) Electronic and board games, arts and crafts supplies, books, dolls, sports equipment, and toys with Jewish themes and content. While this is called a "toy" drive, please keep in mind when selecting presents that many recipients are older children and young teenagers. Ideas for this age group include portable tape players, radios, jewelry, watches, stationery, diaries, books, posters and sports equipment (e.g., baseball gloves, hockey sticks, footballs), etc. Hebrew music tapes are especially appreciated for all age groups. Remove all price tags and, please, no used items! Remember -- this is a terrific mitzvah for your kids to participate in -- they'll love picking out the toys to give away and learn the true meaning of Chesed, at the same time!
WHEN and WHERE WE'RE COLLECTING: Please drop off all donations at the home or our representative: Tiger Family, 20 Creston Avenue, Tenafly (917)-834-5747.
In Teaneck Zoldan's Judaica Center and Judaica House will take 10% off the price of any non-sale item bought for the Toy Drive. Special collection boxes will be set up in both stores.
We thank you in advance for participating in this important Mitzvah!
