On Rosh Chodesh Adar Dnipro Volunteer Community volunteers, operating on the basis of “Hillel” JCCC, carried out distribution of Shabbat kits for elderly people within the framework of “Shabbat to go” project.
This event differed from the usual monthly deliveries within this program, because the Shabbat kits were packed in stylish eco-shoppers, which DVC volunteers made as part of the Tu Bi Shvat holiday campaign, which our website reported about reported
“Within the framework of Tu Bi Shvat “To be eco” campaign we wanted to emphasize the importance of conscious consumption and environmental care, and these shoppers will not only replace plastic bags, but will also become a pleasant reminder of Shabat for our beneficiaries, – said Alina Gorokhova, Dnipro Volunteer Community Coordinator, – on the eve of delivery volunteers gathered in “Hillel” to carefully prepare the kits – they carefully packed halacha, kosher juice, candles and blessings, putting a piece of their heart into each bag. And then, in high spirits and with a sincere desire to give joy, they set off on their journey – towards the smiles of those who wait for them every month.”
