SUMMER SOCIAL ACTION PROJECT

LET’S HELP THE CHILDREN LEARN 87% of the children right here in Poughkeepsie come from economically disadvantaged homes.  To help these children succeed in school, we are collecting money to help provide them with school supplies they will need during the coming school year, which a great many of their families cannot afford. Please send your tax-deductible check in any amount, made out to Vassar Temple with “School Supplies” on the memo line.  We are currently working with Morse School in Poughkeepsie, which has 500 students, and will assist children in additional schools if possible. Money collected in the tzedakah box during July and August will also go toward school supplies.
