During these turbulent times, Beth El is delighted to announce that we our partnering with the Kemp Mill Synagogue to provide essential household items to members of the Silver Spring Christian Reformed Church. The church’s population has many young children whose parents lost their jobs due to Covid. They are in urgent need of diapers, cleaning supplies, liquid hand wash, and other essential household items. Once a week, up to 800 people wait for hours outside the church to receive a food (provided by Kemp Mill) and household items (Beth El’s assignment). The Beth El community can make an indelible impact on ensuring the children and families have the essential items they need.
