Nechama (Comfort) Post-Abortion Care Packing

April 26 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT

In person.

Participate in the mitzvah of tikkun olam (repairing the world) as we provide care and comfort, in the form of post abortion supplies, to those who have come to one of NYC’s clinics alone and are in need of accompaniment. They may be from the local NYC region or coming from out of town.

Our goal is to pack comfort supplies in sixty (60) backpacks.  The supplies were chosen based on conversations with abortion providers and other organizations running similar projects, maximizing healthy choices and providing what is needed the most. Supplies will be ordered in advance.

There are two (2) ways in which you can participate in this meaningful project, open to all:

  • 1. Donate – In the tradition of Jewish giving, we encourage giving in multiples of 18, with $18 providing approximately one bag per person.  However, all donations are greatly appreciated.
  • 2. Join us as we pack these bags in community – Join members of the community on Saturday, April 26, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm, sharing in the joy of creating something wonderful together and making the world a better place, one package at a time.  We will be organizing the supplies, packing them in the backpacks and enclosing a note of comfort.

— To donate and/or sign up to join us on April 26, please click here. A response by April 11 is greatly appreciated.

And after you’re done, we encourage you to celebrate with the Men’s Club in the Social Hall as they enjoy a wine tasting/competition and reception, starting at 4:30pm. For more information, see the Men’s Club page.
