Recently, members of Temple B’nai Abraham in Livingston donated and collected items for the Comfort Project 360 bags used by patients in the chemo suites at RWJBarnabas Health as part of TBA’s Mitzvah Day. Students formed an assembly line and packed up 100 shopping bags that another group of teens had decorated that day. The items in the bag included snacks, fuzzy socks, hand sanitizer, and hand lotion for use by patients undergoing cancer treatment.

Anything that was left was also sent to the hospital for use in its comfort cart, which delivers healthy snacks to patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation.
