I discovered that in my pre-Mitzvah Day blog, I forgot to mention a second aspect of EECM’s participation in the event. On Mitzvah Day, Rodef Shalom hosted a community service fair and invited representatives from various community organizations to staff a table with information about the organization as well as a small service project for members of the Calvary Episcopal and Rodef Shalom youth programs to complete right then and there.
We decided to have the kids make bags of trail mix for the men in our homeless shelter. Each child who came up to the table was asked to color in a pre-made EECM Trail Mix label that we had created. They added stick figures, flowers and short hellos to decorate the basic ingredient list then slapped the labels onto small cellophane bags. Each bag was then filled with a few scoops of home-made trail mix featuring pretzels, peanuts and M&M’s. The bags were distributed to our Emergency Shelter clients to give them something to gnosh on during the day. Yum!
