Every year our Jewish community comes together to feed the County's homeless on Christmas Day.
This occasion is used as a means of providing new warm winter clothing and sleeping bags to homeless individuals and families to help them get through our winters.
You can also help us purchase these care package items by donating on the United Way SLO website on the 'Care Packages for Christmas' page.
Please feel free to contact Naomi Blakely with any questions.
Social Action
Our ongoing programs:
