SOCIAL JUSTICE COMMITTEE 

Who We Are and What We Do

This committee facilitates both community service and social justice projects in which all congregational members are encouraged to participate. We help the  congregation translate our Humanistic Jewish values into action. Often that involves partnering with like-minded organizations.

 

Many of our projects also include an educational component so that we may learn about community needs and social justice issues and how these can be effectively addressed.

Committee meetings take place once a month. For more information, please contact Audrey Pleasant. You can also find more information in our newsletter, and on our calendar and Facebook page.

Here's Just Some of What We Do!
  • Souper Supper fundraiser for feeding the hungry and other charitable projects.

  • Day of Service and Celebration, includes making lunches for soup kitchen

  • Collection of items needed by charitable organizations

  • Knit/Crochet/Craft for a Cause group
