On Sunday, March 17, congregants of Congregation Beth David in Narragansett were joined by several members of Temple Shalom in Middletown for the annual Tote Bag Project. Participants brought sewing machines, fabric and ironing boards to create 54 cloth bags for foster children of Rhode Island.
The colorful tote bags were given to RI Department of Children Youth and Families to be used by social workers when a child moves to a new foster home. The cheerful cloth bags replace plastic garbage bags that would normally be given to the child for his or her possessions.
Participants had a fun afternoon together, schmoozing with friends while performing a mitzvah.
