Back-to-school for the young set means pencils, glue sticks, paperclips, notebooks, dividers, rulers, scissors, index cards, markers, pens, and the like, plus backpacks to hold all that stuff and — oh yes — school books and homework assignments from the teachers.

All those fresh supplies get kids off to a good start in the school year, and the Tikkun Olam Initiative is supporting that effort with a call to our members for donations of school supplies that will be distributed to the children of CAST clients.

CAST will place a collection bin on the ramp by the kitchen door of our shul building,

between July 28 – August 21,
and is hoping to fill it to overflowing by end-August.
​​​​​​​TOI members will keep a watchful eye on the bin, so no worries about pilfering.
​​​​​​​ All will be safe and much appreciated.
