Chabad’s “Indoor mall” boutique was held this past Monday evening and was a phenomenal success. Responding to the needs of the community, those whose belongings were lost in the hurricane were invited to a premier shopping experience at Chabad. Set up beautifully by store in a heated outdoor tent, courtesy of The Party Source and Aaron and Necha Fischman, hundreds of families were greeted by their own personal shoppers who helped them shop for a new wardrobe for their families. The experience mimicked an upscale shopping experience where people were able to replace their lost belongings, including designer men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, shoes and toys all at no cost. A beautiful component of the evening was that these local stores were very focused on giving back to the community. A tremendous thanks goes to our generous sponsors for donating the merchandise and allowing Chabad to serve the community. Thanks to 100% Kids, 5 Towns Judaica, A Little Different, Ana & Eva, A Shoe Inn, Beltstation.com, Breezys, David’s Den, Debbie’s Closet, Denny’s, Dimples, Incredible Feet, Infinity, Judaica Plus, Junee, Junee Jr., La Toys, Morton’s, Orly, Secret Me, Sox Plus, The Party Source, Zoe Ltd, and Zucci Bea for their amazing contributions. Susie Kassai and Michal Weinstein were the event coordinators and were instrumental in setting up this event and we thank them for their hard work and dedication. Thank you to the many volunteers who spent the day setting up the event. Many appreciative families expressed tremendous gratitude and ended the evening feeling embraced by the community. Chabad continues its efforts to help Hurricane victims. Please help out by donating to www.chabad5towns.com/hurricanesandy
