Little Ways to Contribute
There are ways to share a percentage of the costs of items that you already purchase, without any added cost to you. A small percentage of many purchases by many people is just as good as a large donation!

Shop Our Amazon Wish List
There are many items that the shul consistently needs to run smoothly. These items may not be glamorous, but we notice when they are missing! Plates, bathroom tissue, napkins, and coffee cups, for example! Please visit the CBS Amazon wishlist and purchase items from it so that everything can run even more smoothly at the shul!
