Help a Needy Jewish Family on Long Island
M'Yad L'Yad - Helping Hands Is a project of the Suffolk Council of Jewish Organizations. Each individual or group who volunteers to be a sponsor is match with one family in need. The sponsors periodically send their "adopted" family care packages containing donated clothing, household goods and holiday items. Both you and the adopted family remain anonymous, fulfilling one of the highest forms of tzedakah. First names, ages and interests of the adopted family are provided, as are the sponsor family's. Notes of friendship and thanks are often exchanged. To learn more, please go to www.myadlyad.org, or contact the director of M'Yad L'Yad, Mark Zimmerman by phone at 631/742-7194 or by email at hands@myadlyad.org.

TBT Gift Card Program
To help fundraising, TBT is introducing gift cards. By purchasing gift cards for a multitude of stores, in different denominations, you will be helping us raise funds to offset the costs of many programs and services. Every family will be sent a list of 100 local stores, movies and restaurants that offer the gift cards. The gift cards can be ordered from the web site, by fax (631/643-3011) or by emailing the office at giftcards@tbtny.org. Forms can be picked up at the office. You may pay by check (for any amount) or by credit card ($200 and more). You can accumulate your mileage or points and TBT earns money by the sale of the gift cards.
