The Ojai Valley Winter Shelter Program has ended for 2009. John Gottesman organized our participation and has this to say...
Adele Chabelski took time to come from Los Angeles to help and wrestle with Vons over a missed order. Jay Sherman and his lovely daughter Sammy also chipped in helping to serve and clean up. We now have a professional dishwasher to our credit. Caryn Bosson graciously donated milk, cereal and juice and had it not been for scheduling she and her son Miles would have been assisting serving too. Last but not least Patty Grittlefeld has unwaveringly brought food and served for the past 12 years!
Also a special thanks to our donors who have sent in checks to K'hilat. Of course I would be remiss if I didn't thank my wife Suria for pushing me into this event. It is truly a rewarding adventure to have someone elicit a thank you for merely cooking and serving them some sustenance. To them I say "the pleasure is all mine."
Your help and support is much appreciated.
You can help get food to those in need...
For anyone in need of food, the Jewish federation of Ventura gives out generous boxes of food every Tuesday morning at 10AM in the rear of Temple Beth Torah.
Also, if anyone is in need of Passover food please e-mail Bea Ellisman - or call her at 805 647 3681.
This is a free service by the Jewish Federation
