Recently, we put the word out that a few of our members could use support after experiencing health issues. Within two hours of the Meal Train email going out, every meal was booked except one. What a joy to see our members supporting one another in a time of need. 

Have a Mitzvah Moment you’d like to share? Please email it to Julia at engagement@kolamikc.org.
