I know we are a few days late with this, but it's worth it. Our July charity is The Balance. https://www.instagram.com/the_balance_jlm

The Balance is dedicated to supporting homeless and at-risk youth in Israel by providing them with the resources and care they need to overcome life’s most difficult challenges. Focused on youth struggling with substance abuse, trauma, and unstable living conditions, we offer a safe community where these young people can heal, grow, and truly build their futures.

Milt's has our own fundraising page, which can be accessed here: https://thechesedfund.com/888/this-is-your-moment-to-save-lives/teams/miltsbarbecuefortheperplexed

Introducing our latest recipient of Milt's Community Gift of the Month: Hersh's Fridge!

Spearheaded by Solu and Rabbi Hody Nemes, this endeavor is the first kosher Community Fridge in the United States. As many of you know, we at Milt's are close with our friends at Solu, are actively concerned about growing food insecurity, and with the Goldberg-Polin families. With the ongoing uncertainty with SNAP benefits, it is more important than ever to help and be involved. Please visit https://www.solu.us/fridge to donate and for other giving opportunities!

For people that have followed us closely over the past few years, you know there are a few causes and organizations we hold dearly. One is Margaret's Village. We have been deeply invested in their mission to support women, children, and families on Chicago’s South Side, and we have witnessed first-hand the transformative impact they have on our community.

You are all invited to a special evening celebrating the incredible work of Margaret’s Village, it would mean so much to us for you to join us in honoring their work at the 2025 Sheltering Hope, Building Community Gala.

See you then!
