Interfaith Collaboration in Community Service

The Interfaith Social Ministry Collaborative hosted a well-attended social action event at Temple Sinai in June.  Enthusiastic volunteers from First United Methodist Church, St. Francis Episcopal, St. John's Episcopal, Temple Beth El, Temple Sinai, and United Jewish Federation joined together in this meaningful project. Rabbi Jay TelRav of Temple Sinai celebrated how people of all faiths are called to service. 

Participants funded and packed 700 Dignity Grows personal care bags for women and girls in need at Americares Free Clinics, Building On Community, Domestic Violence Crisis Center, Help for Kids, Inspirica, Schoke Jewish Family Service, New Covenant Center, Pacific House and Person to Person. The group also prepared 500 sandwiches for clients at the New Covenant Center soup kitchen, with sandwich supplies provided by Temple Sinai Sisterhood.
