Social Action

The Tzedek Team has taken on an exciting new project to help the unhoused in our community. Working with congregant Roza Gossage, we are collecting clean, dry plastic grocery—type bags which we will crochet into sleeping mats for those without shelter. (For a description, see Post-Dispatch Article on creating mats from plastic bags.) And we will be keeping those pesky shopping bags out of landfills in the process. A win-win! Roza has offered to teach everyone how to crochet. Each mat requires a large number of bags, so please drop clean, dry grocery bags, any color, in the bin in the Asher-Geller Entry Hall, our main lobby. 

Finally, a special thanks to everyone who donated blood during our December blood drive. Please save a life and join us for our next blood drive! Details will soon be available.
