Mission Accomplished for Camp Hillel

Issue of August 28, 2009 / 8 Elul 5769

Camp Hillel staff members Aidan and Dotan Horowitz represented the Camp Hillel/HAFTR community as they drove upstate to the Fallsburg, N.Y. post office with bins overflowing with donated items to be shipped to US troops in Iraq. The ‘From day camp to base camp’ project was conducted in cooperation with the Living Torah Museum of Fallsburg. The drive collected hundreds of pairs of tube socks, granola bars, Purell, Ziploc bags and baby wipes. Hillel campers also made fleece pillows for the soldiers to provide both comfort and a reminder that people at home appreciate and thank them for their efforts and sacrifice.
