Beth Yeshurun is joining Faith Organizations across Houston - Muslim, Christian, and Jewish - in a friendly competition to collect food for the Houston Food Bank during National Hunger Awareness Month.  

This interfaith competition is a terrific opportunity to work together to benefit our city, develop a stronger sense of community, and motivate participants to reach across to their neighbors. Ultimately, by fostering stronger awareness of hunger in the Greater Houston area, using our faith as the vehicle, we hope to create a continuous reminder of the role we must all play together.

The competition kicks off on September 1st and ends on the 30th. We’ll keep track of food collected and post the latest results weekly here on this website. Clergy and educators at the faith centers will provide faith-based messaging about hunger in their communities.

Please contribute your non-perishable, not-expired foods throughout the month of September!  We will keep you posted on our progress and how we are doing in the "competition"!

We will have donation bins:

• In the Bender Levy Lobby (the synagogue entrance  at the "carpool" lane)
• In the Administrative Lobby (where the staff and Rabbi's offices are)
