Help CSR Teens with Mitzvah Mondays!

Over 62,000 children in Westchester County rely on low-cost or free school meals for the food they need to grow and learn. 

 

But what about weekends and after school? 

 

On Mitzvah Mondays, CSR Teens will pack donated food items to be distributed to children in need by Lifting Up Westchester. 

​

This community service initiative will help children in Westchester who count on school for their meals. Once a month, CSR Teens will be packing weekend meal bags and afterschool snack bags for those children facing food insecurity. This will only be possible with donations from you! Please scan the QR code in the image or click the link to donate through our Amazon wishlist. We will also be collecting reuseable bags to use in distributing these meals.

 

This is an ongoing opportunity for 2026-27.  Thank you for your help!

Are you interested in social justice? Do you want your voice and opinions heard by the U.S. government?

January 22-25, 2027

L'Taken (often known as the RAC trip) is a chance to join other Reform Jewish teens across North America to participate in social justice advocacy training, go sightseeing in Washington, D.C., and lobby on Capitol Hill for issues you care about.

 

Important Information about the RAC Trip:

 

The cost of attending is $700 for registered CSR Teens and $800 for non-registered teens. 

 

There will be a mandatory pre-trip orientation and a mandatory post-trip program.

 

The RAC provides excused absence letters for school and CSR will sign community service forms for teens.

 

This is an incredible opportunity and we encourage all teens (grades 10-12) to consider going!
