The 4-year old class used their tzedakah money to buy all of the ingredients for the salad course and the dessert! They were excited to use their money to help feed those in need.

Even our 2-year olds pitched in by making sweet placemats for the dinner.

Their food was served on the placemats later that evening by the adult Shomrei volunteers.
