• Healthy Nonperishable Food for Manna

  Collection boxes are in the Temple lobby year-round to collect nonperishable foods for Montgomery County’s designated food bank, Manna Food Center. We’re focusing our healthy food collection on instant original flavor oatmeal packets, brown rice (16 oz.), whole- grain pasta (16  oz.), canned tuna (12 oz. or larger), canned salmon, canned chicken in water, dry or canned beans (low sodium), natural nut butters, canned vegetables (low sodium), canned fruit (in juices), fruit cups, shelf-stable individual milk boxes, cooking oils, spices, infant formula, and baby foods. Please, no SPAM, matzah, cookies, or candy. Click here for Manna’s most recent Most Needed Foods List.

• Clothing Bins for Interfaith Works

  Clothing items deposited in the large bins in the TBA parking lot are picked up by the Clothing Recycling Company & distributed to its partners, including the Interfaith Works Clothing Center in Rockville. If you wish all of your items to go directly to the Interfaith Works Clothing Center, feel free to take them to the Center at 751 Twinbrook Parkway, Rockville, MD 20851. To get a tax receipt, email: crcoreceipt@gmail.com

• Eyeglasses for Lions Club International

  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.

• Used Cellphones for Secure the Call

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