UPDATE: Chabad of Mobile has just announced two crucial Chanukah celebration events set to elevate community spirit and support local families in need. The festivities will kick off in just two weeks, and officials are urging residents to participate in a food drive benefiting Feeding the Gulf Coast.
CHANUKAH CELEBRATION: Mark your calendars for these impactful events on December 18 and December 25. The community is encouraged to donate canned goods, which will be used to construct a symbolic menorah known as the CAN-NORAH. Mayor Spiro Cheriogotis will make a special appearance for the Menorah Lighting ceremony at the event in Mobile, emphasizing the importance of community unity during this festive season.
“We are excited to see our community come together to make a difference,” said a spokesperson from Chabad. “All cans used for the menorah will be donated to those in need throughout the Mobile and Baldwin area.”
HOW TO HELP: Residents can drop off canned goods at Chabad of Mobile or contribute financially to support the purchase of food items. The drive will run for the next three weeks, leading up to the Chanukah celebrations. Every can counts, and together, the community aims to brighten the holidays for families facing food insecurity.
IMPACT: This initiative not only celebrates the spirit of Chanukah but also addresses a pressing issue in the community—hunger. With food insecurity on the rise, these donations will provide essential support to families who rely on local food banks.
WHAT’S NEXT: As the event dates approach, community members are encouraged to spread the word and participate in the food drive. Stay tuned for updates on how the CAN-NORAH will take shape as donations pour in. Together, we can make a significant impact this holiday season.
This heartfelt effort highlights the power of community action and the importance of giving during the holidays. Join the movement and help make a difference today!
