MIDNIGHT RUN

 MIDNIGHT RUN is on November 6, 2010-Cheshvan 29, 5771

Our MIDNIGHTRUN is on November 6, 2010. We will drive in a caravan to New York City to help the homeless.

 We will collect used clothing and we will need 100 blankets, socks, underwear, hats and gloves, coats, shoes, shirts, sweaters, sweatshirts, sweat pants and knapsacks. At 7 pm on the evening of the run participants meet at the Temple to prepare hot meals, large urns of coffee and hot vegetable soup and sandwiches and to pack and sort clothes and personal items. After a 9:30 pm. orientation 7- 8 vehicles are loaded with the food and clothing. Then we are off to New York City in a caravan carrying our youth group students and volunteer congregation drivers. The vehicles make set stops in New York City. At each stop the students and congregants work from their cars giving out the supplies and engaging in conversation with the homeless. The dialogue is an essential element in the run, since the homeless are very isolated.

 Please contact Jane at 637-8801 to sign up or e-mail adubro4@msn.com.

VOLUNTEERS & DRIVERS NEEDED please sign up!
