Wanted: All CTI Gardeners

Could you grow us an extra row?

Or provide us with some seeds

For Tikkun Olam to plant

Plus take care of the weeds.

 

This project’s a labor of love

The veggies will benefit CAST.

Just give us some help to get started

And the rewards you sow will be vast.

 

The shul’s Tikkun Olam group is urging shul gardeners and wannabe gardeners to play in the dirt to support two new projects to benefit CAST. When you plant veggies for your family, plant an extra row for CAST. Or, how about providing a large container, potting soil, and seedlings so CAST families can grow their own veggies? Get down and dirty for Tikkun Olam and CAST. 

When your veggies are ripe and ready, or your containers, soil and seed need picking up, call the shul at 631-477-0232 and request a Tikkun Olam volunteer. Hey, let’s make this work.

A note on giving and receiving: A response from one of the recipients of a whole chicken from Tikkun Olam’s “Chicken in Every Pot” campaign: She was so grateful to prepare and serve a chicken dinner to her family. “It made a real difference to us,” she said.
