Community Warehouse
3969 NE MLK Jr. Boulevard
Enjoy dessert, and find out what insights ancient and modern texts can offerus as we try to balance our lives.
If you have gently used housewares you no longer need, please bring

Do you have kids?
When we started this list, the goal was to reach folks who were post-college and pre-kids. I am not kicking anyone off and you can hang as long as you want. But I would like to help you find other resources relevant to your current life stage. You might check out PJ library, which provides free Jewish books and multimedia for children aged 0-6 so parents can read with their children. They also send out a monthly newsletter with opportunities for parents, kids, and families from throughout the Jewish community. Learn more at http://www.pjlibrary.org/communities/community-detail.aspx?id=101.
