Habonim recently used Bender Fund assets to donate the money necessary to provide High Holiday food packages to elderly Holocaust survivors who are clients of Self Help Community Services. The Bender Fund was created almost 50 years ago in conjunction with our Brotherhood, and is dedicated solely to helping elderly, blind, and needy members of the Jewish community. Self Help reports that everyone who received the packages was so very appreciative and sends their thanks to all the members of Congregation Habonim for their generosity and kindness. Each year we help provide food packages to Self Help clients on Pesach, the High Holidays, and Hanukkah.
