People in crisis situations across NJ need our help!
Lexie's Bat Mitzvah Project Jersey Cares First Night Kit Collection Drive
For my Mitzvah Project I've decided to volunteer and collect items for the First Night Kit Program.
Jersey Cares has established the First Night Kit Program. Throughout the year, Jersey Cares manages projects in which volunteers assemble kits for domestic violence shelters, transitional housing facilities, runaway safe havens, foster homes, and other agencies with transitional populations in need of hygiene items on the "first night" of their stay.
I chose this organization for my Mitzvah Project because I want people to feel good about themselves after being in such unfortunate situations. Becoming a Bat Mitzvah symbolizes becoming an adult in the Jewish community, and taking on responsibilities to that community. With this organization I can express a unique way to actively help people in these situations.
Please shop online to support my First Night Kit drive. At the end of the drive all goods ordered online will be shipped directly to Jersey Cares where I will assemble the kits.
Thank you! Your contributions will strengthen our community by helping others in need.
