Congregation Or Chadash, Temple Emanu-El and the University of Arizona Hillel Foundation are participating in this year’s Pack-a-Thon on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2-4 p.m. at the Muslim Community Center, 5100 N. Kevy Place. This is a multi-faith program involving these Jewish organizations, churches and the Muslim community of Tucson to package 50,000 meals for the needy in Pima County. Each organization is asked to make a donation toward the $18,000 goal necessary to prepare this food, and to provide volunteers to package and deliver the food to the distribution organizations around Tucson.
