Bushey Sharing & Caring Day - Purim
Bushey Sharing and Caring Day
(Purim 2021 - Feb 26)
Acts of sharing and caring are needed now more than ever!
Let’s dedicate this year Purim - Friday February 26 - as a day of sharing and caring in Bushey!
Purim is all about sharing with others. In fact, there's a special Mitzvah on Purim to give gifts of food to your friends and neighbours, as well as to seek out those in need. So why not get involved, do a Mitzvah, and make a Bushey neighbour smile!
How to get involved
Times are tough. Let your friend, neighbour, or loved one know that you’re thinking of them, by gifting them with a beautiful “Sharing Day” gift box….
It’s as easy as 1 2 3…
Click below to receive your FREE “Sharing Day Gift Package” which contains two beautiful custom “Sharing Day” Gift Boxes - One filled with goodies for you to keep, as a gift from us to you.
And a second unfilled one for you to fill with edibles of your choice, then…
2.
Drop it off outside a neighbour, friend, or loved one's home on Bushey Sharing Day - Purim February 26 - while on your daily walk.
3.
Smile! You’ve done a mitzvah and made someone happy, and that should make you happy too!
For adults and children alike.
Let’s get Bushey Covered!
*Volunteers needed*
Please let us know if you can help spread the love around Bushey by helping deliver Sharing Day packages in your area.
