URGENT UPDATE: Two major Chanukah celebration events are set to light up Mobile, Alabama, in just two weeks, and they come with a heartwarming twist—donations of canned goods for those in need! The Chabad of Mobile is calling on the community to participate in their CAN-NORAH initiative in partnership with Feeding the Gulf Coast.
These festivities will kick off on December 10, 2023, and are designed to unite residents in a celebration of generosity and joy. The highlight? A special Menorah lighting ceremony featuring the newly elected Mayor Spiro Cheriogotis, who will participate in this meaningful event.
Community members are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items over the next three weeks. Donations can be dropped off at the Chabad center or monetary contributions can be made to purchase additional cans. All donations will construct a stunning menorah made entirely of canned goods, which will be lit during the celebrations. Afterward, all food items will be donated to Feeding the Gulf Coast to support families in the Mobile/Baldwin area who are struggling to put food on the table.
This initiative not only adds a festive spirit to the holiday but also addresses the pressing issue of food insecurity in our local communities. The Chabad of Mobile emphasizes that together, we can make a significant impact in brightening the lives of those facing hardships.
Mark your calendars and prepare to join this vibrant community effort! The countdown to Chanukah is on—don’t miss your chance to contribute and celebrate together. For more information on how to donate or participate in the events, contact Chabad of Mobile directly.
What’s next? As the celebrations approach, stay tuned for updates on the specific event details and how the community is coming together to support this important cause. Your involvement could make a world of difference!
