DECEMBER 2025 PHILANTHROPY UPDATE
It was very heartening for me to provide 83 scarves and 50 hats plus a few pairs of gloves to our underhoused neighbors this week, especially with all this cold weather. They were distributed at a Fill-a-Belly meal this past Tuesday (November 18). This particular meal was organized by my synagogue Temple Solel (I made 6 dozen rolls plus butter) as an early Thanksgiving meal. Feedback from the guests was exceedingly positive. All the hats and gloves were taken, and all but a handful of scarves.
Philanthropy will accept end-of-year donations at the Holiday Luncheon on December 1. If you have donated items directly to an organization, please let me know so that I can include your work in my annual report of the Guild’s philanthropic achievements.
Thanks for your efforts!
— Colleen Lukoff, Philanthropy Coordinator
