Donations and Membership Commitments

During this season of giving, we ask that you remember to make your monthly membership pledges by December 31—and also consider an extra donation to TEMV as you reflect on what we hope TEMV has given you, with services that are meaningful, a rabbi who is approachable, knowledgeable, and musical, a long history of working for social justice, and an inclusive spirit that we put into action for our diversity of congregants. Thank you for giving from your heart. Make your membership pledge or donate online here or send a check to Treasurer, Temple Emanuel of the Merrimack Valley, 101 W. Forest St., Lowell, MA 01851. Donations must be postmarked or made online by December 31 to count for the 2017 tax year.

There is a box in the TEMV lobby for winter clothing, including coats, gloves/mittens, hats, and scarves. Toiletries and non-perishable food are always welcome, too.
