HELP MARSHALL FEED ANIMALS
Marshall Lundberg's bar mitzvah project is underway: "My name is Marshall and I am 12 years old. My dog, Chopper, was adopted from R.E.D.. He was a rescue dog from Texas that R.E.D. helped find a home—ours! My family recently noticed on their social media page that they need help with feeding the animals they rescue. It made me so sad that homeless pets couldn’t be fed and they may not be able to help as many animals as they normally could. So, I wanted to help them save more animals by getting them more food." Please drop off dog and cat food—canned and kibble—in the bin located in the temple's rotunda, and Marshall's family will bring them to their shelter!
