gratitude always ✨🌱🌷 Huge thanks to everyone who came out to support our Chicago fundraiser! With help from our friends at @thearkchicago, @thefatshallot (who generously donated the space on their 12th anniversary!), and @stewpendousproductions, we packed 144 care kits for kids that will be distributed this summer. One long-time supporter said it best: “I have really strong feelings about The Ark, and I was so happy to pack care kits for the summer!” It was a beautiful, all-ages service opportunity—community, good food, and meaningful impact all in one day. #CommunityCare #ChicagoEvents #ServiceDay #FamilyVolunteering #TheArk #TheFatShallot #StewpendousProductions (fb)

Volunteers from Congregation Emanu-El partnered with Repair the World to honor moms at Hamilton Families with care kits, handmade cards, and fresh flower bouquets.⁠ ⁠ With many residents being single parents and members of immigrant and migrant communities, this gesture was a way to show solidarity, love, and respect.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Volunteers dedicated their service to someone who nurtured them and explored the Jewish value of Hiddur Mitzvah—beautifying a good deed through love and intention. 💐🌸⁠ ⁠ #MothersDay #HiddurMitzvah #CommunitySolidarity #JewishValues #RepairTheWorld #CongregationEmanuEl (fb)
