The CBS Board meets Thursday, November 7th at 7 pm.
Our annual Project Isaiah fundraiser over the High Holy Days was a success! Our Facebook fundraiser yielded $707. Donations at the synagogue weighed in at 289 lbs. and $229 was collected in the tzedakah bucket.
According to our Food Bank representative, these donations are “equivalent to providing 1,156 meals to our neighbors dealing with food insecurity.” And that’s not even counting the Facebook donations. Thanks to all who contributed for keeping up one of our congregation’s longstanding charitable commitments.
It’s harvest time at the Interfaith Garden as well, and we are pleased to report that this garden on CBS property generated 1,711 lbs. of fresh produce for the Food Bank.
Brent Lowenberg and Noah Heringman represent CBS on the Interfaith Garden Steering Committee, and we’d be happy to have another CBS member join us on that committee. Contact Brent (brentdeelg@gmail.com) or Noah (heringmann@missouri.edu) to learn more, or consider attending our harvest festival at CBS on November 10th to learn more.
The Tikkun Olam committee will in November. Details to come. All are welcome.
