With the Chabad Center and Shul still in shambles, with
its makeshift lighting system it became an epicenter for volunteers.
Last night Chabad Lubavitch of Manhattan Beach partnered with iVolunteer to distribute hot dinner to the less fortunate. Many people don’t realize the amount of seniors living alone in the buildings on Manhattan Beach.
Armed with flash lights the volunteers went from apartment to apartment knocking on doors bringing the elderly well needed dinner.
“Thank you so much for bringing me this food, we couldn’t get out of the house its too cold.” said a resident of 150 West End Ave. Chabad was able to secure a list of elderly still in the neighborhood not wanting to leave their comfort zone.
“We will do our best to guarantee these seniors have what they need till they get electricity and heat back on so they can get back to normal life.” said Rabbi Avrohom Winner, director of Chabad Lubavitch of Manhattan Beach.
We want to acknowledge Mrs. Sheva Tauby and Rabbi Moshe Frank from iVolunteer for making these arrangements.
Food was donated by Mrs. Rochel Leah Rubashkin from Crown Heights, and Mr. Zalman Weuntsch of Wolf and Lamb.
We want to thank the Crown Heights volunteers and our community volunteers that were able to come late last night, thank you Sonya Merener and daughter, Glen and Sabina Singer and Daniella Zhitomorsky.
