Mitzvah Day 2024

Welcome to Mitzvah Day 2024! Here's where you can find information on all of this year's projects and activities, including our donation drives. Once again, the USH Mitzvah Day event provides both in-person activities and our popular virtual donation to the Shelter.  General information about this year's projects can be found in a link in the Shabbat announcements.

For all the details on our 2024 projects, please see the chart below! 

This year we are collecting the following items, which can be brought to USH now through Mitzvah Day and dropped into the bins in the lobby:

1. For the Emergency Food Pantry: School-appropriate autumn and winter clothing for children & teens of client families.  The Food Pantry is requesting school-appropriate clothing for children from preschool up through high school, in sizes ranging from 2T to adult Small.  Items must be freshly laundered and gently used, with no holes/rips or stains. 
2. For Welcome Home, which supports refugees in our area:  Winter outerwear -- coats, hats, scarves, gloves & mittens -- for children & teens, and for adults.  Items must be freshly laundered and gently used, with no holes/rips or stains.  
3. For the Hoboken Shelter: Our annual toiletries drive, including personal-size shampoo & conditioner, soap, body lotion, toothbrush & toothpaste, deodorant, and individually wrapped disposable razors, to be placed in personal hygiene kits for Shelter clients. 

Virtual Ways to Participate in Mitzvah Day:

In our very popular virtual mitzvah project, USH will provide meals to the Hoboken Shelter’s clients on a specific day.  The Shelter is now serving approximately 150 adults for dinner every day.    A donation of $10 will help us reach our goal. Each time we collect $300, we are able to sponsor an evening meal at the Shelter.  Click here to make a donation to buy a meal
