Temple Judea has had a long relationship with Caring for Friends, an organization that provides meals and visits to individuals who are homebound in Philadelphia and the 5-County area. Many of our members have donated meals over the past years. Unfortunately, COVID-19 has created a greater need and the supply has slowed down. Your help is needed!

We are requesting that TJ members prepare meals for a “contactless” drop-off on Sunday, August 16 between 9:00 and 11:00 am. You need only pull up and open your trunk and a (masked) volunteer will take the meals to store in our Caring for Friends freezer.

The food must be delivered in special tins provided by Caring for Friends. These tins can be picked up in front of the TJ main entrance at these times:
Beginning at 9:00 am Monday, August 3 (all day, including evening hours), through 4:00 pm, Tuesday, August 4. You will not need to enter the building.
Instructions for meal preparation and labeling will be provided along with the tins. If possible, deliver the meals already frozen.

We will contact you for a short Zoom meeting on August 5 at 7:30 pm to run through the meal preparation guidelines. (The meeting will be informative but is not required to participate in this event.)

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact: Janene.Raisman@gmail.com

Over time, we hope to make this a monthly event; hopefully, post-COVID we look forward to gathering as a community to cook and pack meals together.
