We can feel helpless after a year of loss and war in Israel and surging hatred in New York — or we can give back and do some good. If you’re looking for an opportunity to do a mitzvah with your family, grab the kids and join UJA’s Manhattan Women for our annual Wrapped With Love event.

We’ll write cards to bring the warmth of community to isolated seniors and wrap gifts and toys* for children in need. You’ll also discover the latest on UJA’s ongoing response to the needs on the ground in Israel and here at home.

This program is appropriate for children 3 years of age and older.

*Please bring brand-new, unwrapped toys or games for children ages 0 to 16. Please — no characters, large sports equipment, or toys that require batteries or charging power. Some examples are building and LEGO sets, puzzles, board games, books, stuffed animal, dolls, coloring books, and developmental/educational toys.
