Beth Sholom Temple has proudly supported Panera Bread’s Day-End Dough-Nation® Program for several years. Every Tuesday evening, BST volunteers pick up Panera’s leftover bread and pastries and deliver them to local organizations and food banks. For the past year and a half, we’ve been making weekly deliveries to The Brisben Center and the Fredericksburg United Methodist Church Food Bank, helping to feed those in need in our community.
We need YOUR help!

Interested in Social Action? Contact Melissa Molfetas at melissa.ann.molfetas@gmail.com to find out how you can get involved and help serve!
On a daily basis, many of us serve and give of ourselves without fanfare or recognition. We are a caring and loving congregation that lives up to the highest ideals of Judaism. Social action has always been an integral part of congregational life at Beth Sholom Temple. Our activities have exemplified the Jewish values of community engagement, service, justice, and peace. The role of the Social Action Committee is to stimulate and support the performance of mitzvot by our members, especially those that help others beyond the Temple community.
Thank you!
We appreciate everyone who makes Social Action's service to the community possible. Thank you for participating in giving back to Fredericksburg and showing others what Beth Sholom is all about!
