We will be collecting Matanot l'Evyonim and Machatzit HaShekel at Shul
With Purim just around the corner, Mercaz will be continuing our Mishloach Manot program that allows for people to give to others in the community and help raise funds for our tent, outdoor space, and other shul needs
Each individual or family who signs up will contribute to sending to all other participants and get one in return for a cost of $36. The deadline to register and participate is tonight at 10 pm, Thursday, February 18th. Baskets will be delivered to the home in a contact-free manner to ensure safety and food items will be individually wrapped.
The link below also includes a space for Matanot l'Evyonim that will be distributed on Purim. You will also be able to give Matanot 'Evyonim at shul.
Thank you to alll who have donated to our tent campaign.
Due to your generosity, we are about 3/4's of the way to our goal! The tent will be complete by the end of February and a team will assemble it then.
If you would like to donate, please go to https://mercazseattle.org/donate/. If the donation is through PayPal, please select the tent fund from the drop-down or note the tent fund on your check. We also have Venmo @mercazseattle.
We very much look forward to the programming and options that this space will allow for in the near future.
