A collection box is now in the Temple lobby year-round to collect nonperishable, certified kosher foods and other items for the Capital Kosher Pantry (CKP). The CKP is the only kosher food pantry in the greater DC area and addresses food insecurity among those requiring kosher foods. Click here for more information about items we are collecting in the TBA lobby for CKP.

Donated clothing IN GOOD CONDITION can be deposited in the large bins in the back of our parking lot. This bin is supported by Clothing Recycling Company, which distributes the contents to its partners, including the Interfaith Works Clothing Center in Rockville. Click here to generate your tax receipt if you put clothing in the bin.

If you wish all of your items to go directly to the Interfaith Works Clothing Center, please bring them to 751 Twinbrook Parkway, Rockville, MD 20851. 

The eyeglasses we collect for the Lions Club are distributed to the Lions Recycle for Sight Program for people in need. Look for the small Lions Club collection box in the Temple lobby.

Bring your old cellphones and tablets to the Cellphone Donation Barrel in the Temple lobby. Secure the Call goes to great lengths to wipe out the information on all phones/tablets. Phones/tablets are either prepared for distribution to those in need (e.g., seniors & domestic abuse victims) or sent to a recycling center.
