Recently, the Social Action Committee of Temple Judea provided dinners for the residents of two homeless shelters run by Bethany House, a local non-profit organization whose mission is to provide growth, healing and shelter to women and children facing homelessness.

This project was done in conjunction with Lasagna Love, a global organization that aims to strengthen communities by connecting neighbor with neighbor through homemade meal delivery.

In its own words, “Bethany House, a non-profit group of warm loving shelters, was founded in 1978 in response to a demonstrated need for shelter for homeless women and their children. For over thirty-five years, Bethany has provided safe, supportive emergency and transitional housing and services for homeless women and their dependent children.

Assembled on a bright wintry day in the parking lot of the Temple were the chairpersons of the committee, Rita Marcus and Alicia Munves, along with a group of the committee members and Rabbi Todd Chizner.

The trunks of two cars were filled with the carefully- packed meals which were then brought to the two Bethany House locations.

Temple Judea’s Social Action Committee members are pleased and proud to support this truly worthwhile organization.

Over the past years, Temple Judea congregants have also provided meals for hospital workers, local families dealing with food insecurity and homeless shelters.
