The Community Food Bank is helping more people than ever. You can help them!

The Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona is no longer in need of volunteers because the National Guard is helping out. However, they do need cash donations because of increased demand for food, since a lot of people have been laid off.  They expect some support from both the State and Federal governments, but need some short-term funding until that comes in.  If you are able, click here to make donations directly to the Food Bank. Your contributions will be most welcome!

A group has formed on Facebook to center the needs of vulnerable folks who are sick, disabled, quarantined without pay, elderly, undocumented, queer, Black, Indigenous, homeless and/or people of color — including those displaced from Tucson to the nearby areas.

At Congregation Or Chadash, the health and safety of our members, staff, and community are two of our primary goals. We are all aware that COVID-19, the novel coronavirus, is escalating quickly, and our concern has increased.

During these restrictive and difficult times, we recognize some of our congregants may have special needs. We would like to help. As individuals who care passionately about each other, the Caring Chavurah has established a task force to support those in need.  Although we have limited resources, we want to be able to assist those who may need a helping hand.
