Cookie Slade, one of four women leading the shul’s Tikkun Olam group, has been delivering squash from her garden to CAST (Community Action Southold Town) for the organization’s pantry. Depending on how it’s prepared, squash can feed a whole family. Also donated from Cookie’s garden are tomatoes, squash, peppers, and herbs (sage, rosemary, oregano, chives, basil and thyme).

The women have planted cool-weather veggies at Common Ground, ready for harvest and delivery in November, including turnips, lettuce, spinach, cilantro and collards. Also planned is delivery of chickens and turkeys for Thanksgiving.

Members of the shul’s Tikkun Olam group are Veronica Kaliski, Susan Rosenstreich, Madelyn Rothman and Cookie Slade. Their contributions are donated to CAST in the name of our shul.

By the way, the TOI group needs a wheelbarrow. Can you donate one?               Cookie Slade photo
