Start saving your unwanted clothes, shoes, and any other textiles
(bedding, towels, linens, etc) for our major fundraiser of the
year! You’ll get a tax deduction from Beth Shalom and everyone
wins: you get a clean house for Passover, and the Beth Shalom
youth program gets paid (by the pound) for keeping things out of
the landfills! Just pack your things into plastic bags - items can be
new, gently used, torn, ripped, or stained - and bring them to
Beth Shalom anytime between March 4 (Purim!) and the
morning of Sunday, March 15. We are hoping to collect at
least 300 bags to meet our scholarship fundraising goal for this
year. Visit the website www.clothesforthecausefundraising.com
