We are elated to announce our partnership with OPCC as we begin staffing their food pantry with Wilshire Boulevard Temple volunteers each Sunday morning.

Our rabbis teach that when asked upon arrival in the next world: “What was your work?” and you answer: “I fed the hungry,” you will be told: “This is the house of God, enter into it, you who have fed the hungry.” For over two decades our food pantry has fed the hungry in our city. Now with locations at the Temple Campus and at the Ocean Park Community Center in Santa Monica, it is easier than ever to get involved. It is one thing to make a sandwich or pack a lunch, it is another to personally distribute that lunch to a person in need. Join us for a few hours on a Sunday morning and put your heart into social action.

Who:
  • Congregants from ages 5 to 95 Grade School through High School: a great community service project!
  • Bar & Bat Mitzvah-to-be: a super tikkun olam project!
  • Parents of Sunday Religious School students: terrific opportunity to do a mitzvah while your kids are at Irmas or at Camp!
  • Adults who care: no better way to do "first-hand" helping for those who need it most.

What:
  • Assembling sandwiches, lunch bags, drinks; handing them to clients

When:
  • The Santa Monica Pantry is EVERY Sunday without end despite the calendar automatically listing it month-to-month
