Help BAG HUNGER... with BSO USY

At the entrance to the synagogue, you will find large paper grocery bags. BSO USY asks that you take these bags home, fill them with the non-perishable food items that you would otherwise eat on Yom Kippur, bring them in by Sukkot. All items collected will be donated to Capital Area Food Bank, a nonprofit organization helping people for over 21 years.

Please help make BSO USY's Bag Hunger campaign a success! If you have any questions, please contact Jacob Komisar, BSO Youth Director, at 301-774-0879, or at BSOYouth@bnaishalomofolney.org
