Promoting Food Justice
Through the Surplus Harvest activity, we gather produce that otherwise would have gone to waste and deliver it to food pantries and shelters. Tikkun Ha-Ir also runs the Chop Shop Program for women inmates to gain culinary skills toward a certificate at MATC, and to make food more user friendly for the recipients.
Programs:
- Food Collection at Farmers Markets (April-November)
- Chop Shop (May-October)
Educating the Jewish Community on Pressing Issues in Our City
With our Social Justice Book Club and Speaker series, we present multiple opportunities to our community to dig deeper into issues of concern and leave with tangible ways to make a difference.
Programs:
- Teen/Young adult service-learning
- Speaker Series
