    The Tzedek Committee is planning a trip to volunteer for the Midnight Run
    THIS SATURDAY NIGHT, SEPTEMBER 22, 2007 @ 9:30pm

    The Midnight Run is an organization that collects and distributes food and clothing to the poor and homeless on the streets of New York City. We will be holding a sandwich-making drive on Saturday after Yom Kippur at the Break the Fast (7:45- 9:30pm) and leave from the CJL for Manhattan at 9:30pm, returning to Princeton VERY LATE.

    We are also collecting clothing at the CJL throughout this week (blankets and mens large and extra large sweats and t-shirts) to distribute on the run.

    We need volunteers for the food drive, clothing drive, and the Midnight Run itself, so please help out if you can! This promises to be an eye- opening and moving experience,

    For more information about Midnight Run or the Tzedek Committee, contact Sarabeth Sanders. Please sign up and join us!
