Please join Temple Emanuel in supporting this essential need for the unhoused in the Phoenix community.
Donations may be dropped off in the Temple Emanuel lobby during normal office hours.
| |
Justa Center provides a huge array of services to seniors who are unhoused or in danger of becoming unhoused by providing day programs, cooling centers, access to social workers, nurses, legal help, and much more. They have connections with many service agencies and match seniors with the help they need.
Justa Center needs sun protection items (sunglasses, brimmed hats, lip balm, sunblock) and snacks (individual packages of crackers, pretzels, chips, breakfast bars, and fruit cups) for their resource center.

Caring Community Needs You!

When someone in our spiritual community needs help, it takes many hands. Won't you join us in providing needed assistance and support?
Perhaps an individual or family is coping with an injury or illness, is grieving or lonely, or is in need of comfort in some other way.
Some of the ways you can show that you care:
- Make a phone call
- Provide a ride
- Write a card
- Deliver a meal

Please Sponsor an Oneg Shabbat!
Our Temple Emanuel Oneg Shabbat dessert receptions are opportunities for our community to come together and enjoy the sweetness of Shabbat with conversation and refreshments every Friday after services.
We invite you to sponsor an Oneg Shabbat in honor of your family and friends. Gather your friends, Chavurot, social groups, committees, clubs, or family to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, weddings, graduations, new babies, a loved one’s accomplishments, or any happy occasion - or just to celebrate being alive!
It is a wonderful way to celebrate any special occasion with your Temple Emanuel community!
