A Mitzvah Mall is a shopping alternative to the usual holiday gift buying. It provides a convenient opportunity for individuals to make donations to various charities. In exchange, the donor receives a greeting card, which he or she can present to a recipient who will see that a specific tangible donation has been made with them in mind.

Our cards are made from recycled paper and contain messages of “Happy Chanukah”, “Happy Holidays”, and “Just For You”.  The “Just For You” card can be sent any time of the year when you want to acknowledge a special occasion or good deed.

The Mitzvah Mall is now open ALL YEAR ROUND for your shopping pleasure!  Cards may be purchased any time during the year by contacting Beth Lemler, or click on the order form below and mail it to her.  The Mitzvah Mall is Social Action’s annual fundraiser for five non-profit organizations.  Since Social Action will cover the cost of the program, 100% of your donation goes directly to the organization.

This year we will be working with:
• Community Soup Kitchen, Morristown, which provides hot lunches including soup, salad, entrée, desert, and beverages 365 days a year for anyone who needs to come.
• Stem Cell Institute of New Jersey , located in New Brunswick, New Jersey, supports research seeking cures for a multitude of illnesses through stem cell therapy, (i.e. Cancer, Parkinson's, ALS, spinal cord injuries, Diabetes etc).
• Jersey Battered Women’s Service  promotes public awareness in recognizing abuse and provides assistance and services to women and families facing domestic violence and abuse.
• Noah's Ark Animal Welfare Association works to prevent cruelty to animals, to provide care for homeless animals, to educate the public in responsible animal care and give a second chance to countless homeless animals often the victims of indifference and a result of pet overpopulation.
• Alzheimer’s Association provides support for individuals, their families and caregivers, and supports research to eliminate Alzheimer's disease. They provide 24-hour Helpline services,  education and training programs, support groups, respite care assistance services, and collaboration with research centers.

To participate in this worthwhile program, donate a minimum of $2 - $35 for any tangible item or service to any of the organizations listed on the  “Mitzvah Mall Order Form”.  For each donation made you will receive an attractive card to send a relative or friend.
