Kids’ Kloset provides clothing, footwear and other essentials such as diapers and wipes free of charge to local youth living in need. Clothing items are packed in “Bags of Love” one weeks worth of clothing personally packed with each child in mind. Appropriate, clean clothing is distributed free of stains and rips. It is our belief that each “Bag of Love” is not just clothing but makes a child feel good about themselves, increasing self-esteem, confidence and reducing stress at home. Kids’ Kloset is volunteer driven and relies on the community to volunteer and donate clothing, footwear and other items. Kids’ Kloset is a great Mitzvah project!

Kulanu (“All of Us” in Hebrew), founded in 1994, is a non-profit organization which supports isolated, emerging, and returning Jewish communities around the world who wish to learn more about Judaism and (re-)connect with the wider Jewish community. Since then, Kulanu has operated on five continents to help Jews isolated from world Jewry and people who wish to reconnect with their Jewish roots to enrich their Jewish learning and practice of Judaism. Today, Kulanu is a network of people with a shared interest in strengthening the global Jewish community and improving the lives of individuals.
One important area of Kulanu’ s work is their collaboration with communities in Asia and Africa on projects for sustainable development and infrastructure improvements.
In addition, they operate an online boutique that sells books, CDs, handcrafts and Judaica from and about these communities.
