Please note that we are not accepting donations brought to TBS at this time. Only monetary donations please!
The Diane Kaplan Social Action Fund is the best way to support TBS’ commitment to our greater community. A monetary donation to the fund allows us to purchase items our organizations need. Thank you for your generosity, we are all making a difference.
Ongoing Programs:
We will resume all programs as soon as possible. Some programs can be done at home.

Fresh Fruit Program: The fresh fruit delivery program is back in action.We are in need of volunteers to deliver fresh fruit for January, February and March. Martha’s
Place and Life Haven are just as concerned about everyone’s health and safety as we are, so deliveries can be “touch less”. Contact Deborah Wilkenfeld_deborah@yahoo.com

donated for this worthwhile cause. For more info contact Gerry at 860-620-0907 or gganezer@gmail.com
