Lunch opportunity for all businesses, offices, churches
and those in the Westmoreland area
Congregation Emanuel Israel is offering a chance for people in Westmoreland County to do something different and delicious for lunch.
A Corned Beef Lunch Box!
The lunch includes a corned beef sandwich on marble rye, chips, coleslaw, pickle, mustard packet, cookie, bottle of water, napkin and plasticware, all placed in a cardboard lunch box.
The cost of each lunch box is $15. This can be paid by cash, check or zelle debit card. Orders need to be placed no later than Friday April 18th. There will be no sales after that date.
Distribution of the lunch boxes will be on Friday May 2. We are asking that each facility drive by the synagogue to pick up all orders for your location. Your facility can collect and pay for all your employee lunches or the individuals can call in their own orders. However, we are asking that all lunch boxes be picked up for your location at the same time. You can then deliver them back to your people on that day. Pick up will simply be by driving to the front of the synagogue and we will hand you all the lunches at one time right into your car.
If you have any questions please either email rabbi@cei-greensburg.org or call 724-9630789.
