Make Activity Kits at Home for Children in Need

Date: Wednesday, February 12 - Monday, April 7
Time: All Day

Be part of living the Jewish value of G’milut Chasadim–acts of loving kindness–by assembling activity kits to bring joy and distraction to children in challenging situations.

Creating and packing activity kits for children in a local shelter or hospital is a great way to support your community while spending time with your family at home, hosting a packing party with friends, or engaging in a quiet activity while you relax.

You will receive a list of recommended items and instructions for packing each kit, which once completed can be dropped off at a selected location near you during the designated drop-off period. 

Drop-off locations include: Livingston, Montclair, Randolph, Short Hills, Westfield and Whippany.

*The location and street address for Federation events will be emailed to each guest in the day(s) prior to the event, using the email address provided at registration.

Security at Federation Events

The Gloria and Jesse Weissberg Community Security Initiative (CSI) is coordinating all security with local, county, and state law enforcement. At every Federation event, all available resources are utilized to ensure your safety. Important items of note:

  • Bag policy: Backpacks, luggage, and large purses are not permitted at events. We encourage you not to bring a bag, if possible, or to bring a very small bag. All bags may be subject to search.
  • Additional security measures: Additional security procedures may be implemented (e.g. metal detectors) as needed.
  • Social media protocol: We ask you not to share the location of a Federation event prior to or during the event and to refrain from posting about a Federation activity until after it has ended, and the site is clear of attendees.

Building an inclusive community is a priority. Please email [email protected] to let us know if you require an accommodation to meaningfully participate in an event. One of our Federation professionals will reach out to you to learn more.
