Join us for a Blanket and Winter Gear Drive to help keep our community warm! CJP Women’s Philanthropy’s Mitzvah Monday Project will help older adults and children continue to spend time outside and stay connected safely, even as the temperature falls.

See details below listing items needed and where to drop off or ship them between Nov. 16 and Dec. 14. Choose a CJP partner organization to support, help spread the word, and then share your story of giving with us on Facebook or Instagram and be sure to tag us!
