If you would like to become a member of the BZBI Bikkur Cholim Committee, or if you would like more information on Bikkur Cholim, please e-mail the synagogue . Spruce Streets Beth Zion-Beth Israel has been a major supporter of this community based program for over ten years. We have, as a synagogue, cooked and served food for the men as well as held leadership positions on their board. For those who are new to this program, Wintershelter houses 22 homeless men from November 15 through April 15th. The men are broug ht to the shelter in the early evening and served a home cooked meal.
Food is provided by individuals, families, neighbors, organizations, churches, etc.
The men sleep at the shelter and then in the early morning are returned to a drop-off point near Ci ty Hall. Help us continue our long term commitment to Wintershelter. Your involvement can be as much or as little as your schedule will permit. The men are very appreciative of the effort and concern shown for them. Or fill out the form below.
