From Torah to Table: Taking Action on Hunger this Thanksgiving
Description
In Massachusetts 40% of households are food insecure - more than double the pre pandemic amount. Against the backdrop of this hardship, there are many local organizations meeting this need, and in this pre-Thanksgiving class you can be part of this effort.
We’ll look at the local impact of food insecurity, learn about local organizations tackling this challenge, and turn over the wisdom our tradition provides about hope, service, gratitude, and action. We’ll end the night by packing dried soup jars to be donated to the Margaret Fuller Neighborhood House with a recipe specially crafted by Lehrhaus.
