What a meaningful Mitzvah of the Moment! 💙
41 first-time campers.
600+ essential items.
One incredible community effort.

We assembled 41 duffle bags for Greater MetroWest campers heading to Jewish sleepaway camp through the Rocker Family Overnight Camp Scholarship Program — filled with everything they need to get started, from colorful comforters and laundry bags to towels, sunscreen, flashlights, and more.

We’re so grateful to the Rocker family, Alan & Fani Weissman for generously funding the supplies, Bar Mitzvah student Jacob R for his collection and fundraising as his Mitzvah Project, and our dedicated volunteer packers!
