Out of the Cold

Each winter the Beth Emeth Bais Yehuda Synagogue has opened 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 served dinners for up to 90 guests and have up to 30 guests sleep over each Monday evening. 

Unfortunately, due to the Covid 19 pandemic, we cannot safely offer these critical services this winter.  

Normally, we gratefully collect donations of gently used clothing, specifically large and extra large jackets and winter boots, warm winter apparel, and toiletries. Again, Covid precludes us from accepting physical donations this year. It is still possible to make monetary donations to the program; you may call the office or make a donation online.  

We are grateful for your interest and look forward to resuming our program next winter.
