Ongoing Tzedakah Projects
Havurat Tikvah is actively engaged in ongoing Tzedakah projects to benefit the community.
Currently, we are engaged in making blankets for Project Linus, collecting necessary items for Urban Ministries, as well as gathering used cellphones for Shalom Bayit-NC. We also hold regular drives for Jewish Family Services to augment their food and personal care pantries.
Join a “sewing bee” at one of our host homes to put together and create wonderful blankets for Project Linus. The national organization, with the help of hundreds of chapters and groups like ours, make, collect and distribute these handmade creations to seriously ill children and children who are in crisis or who have experienced trauma. To learn more about Project Linus, visit projectlinus.org.
Urban Ministry provides for the homeless by being a day center for those who may otherwise not have a place to gather to receive support, have a hot meal and have access to professional care needs as they arise. The center is also home to Room in the Inn, which provides overnight shelter during the winter months. We are happy to be able to assist Avondale Presyterian Church with their ongoing support of this important project. Currently, we are collecting seasonal clothes, eye glasses, toiletries and canned food. To learn more about Urban Ministry, visit urbanministrycenter.org.
Another recipient of our Tzedakah projects is Shalom Bayit-NC. They provide necessary support and education for those who experience domestic violence within the Jewish community. Right now, we are collecting old, used and unwanted cell phones which are reprogrammed to call 911. To learn more about Shalom Bayit-NC, visit shalombayit-nc.org.
Consider bringing requested items to services when you come or to any of our other programs throughout the year. Our social action committee will graciously deliver them to their ultimate destination.
Todah rabah (thank you) to everyone who continues to support these worthy endeavors.
