Holiday Food Drive

Once again this year, ACI is holding a High Holiday food drive. Non-perishable, non-expired kosher food items will be collected through Sukkot. Items are being collected in the front of the Sanctuary, including on Yom Kippur, when our voluntary fast reminds us of others who involuntarily go without sufficient food during the year. Thanks for your participation!
