Out of the Cold

The Beth Emeth Bais Yehuda Synagogue opens its doors during the cold winter months for the vulnerable people in our community. This program provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere, a hot kosher meal, gently used clothing, a warm bed to sleep in, a bagged lunch, TTC tokens, a visit with an onsite nurse and toiletries.  We serve dinners for up to 90 guests and have up to 30 guests sleep over each Monday evening. 

The program will run for 8 consecutive Monday nights and Tuesday mornings from Monday, January 7th until Monday, February 25th 2019. 

We are looking for donations of gently used clothing, specifically large and extra large jackets and winter boots, warm winter apparel, and toiletries. Meals can also be donated at a cost of $18.00. 

If you would like to donate warm winter clothing to the program, please Download the Intake Form and attach to the clothing bags. Please drop it off at the shul office or leave it with the shul security guard.

Cash donations and clothing donations are also encouraged. Donations to Out of the Cold can be made by calling the office at 416-633-3838 or click the link to the right, and select Out of the Cold.

We look forward to your participation.

Chairs,
