While we are eating and enjoying one another’s company, we should remember that many are not so fortunate. Here’s a link to the Federation’s Fed Up with Hunger campaign, which has all the places that help feed hungry people in LA County: www.fedupwithhunger.org
Many lack what we have in abundance. Tomchei Shabbos packs kosher food for poor Jews every Thursday night, to ensure a nutritious and uplifting Shabbat for everyone. They need money to purchase kosher food in bulk, and volunteers every Thursday night in both City and Valley locations. Their website is www.touchofkindness.org
