Make a Back-to-School Supplies Kit
Weekdays during Elul: September 4-27, 2024
Every day, people fleeing conflict or persecution arrive in the Bay Area. Many come with next to nothing, but their hope and determination.

Feel free to include one or more items or create a complete backpack with one of each item on the list! Gift cards to Target are also welcome in addition to or instead of supplies.
