Social Justice Programs
Our Tikkun Olam Circle takes on special projects and serves as the greater umbrella for our specialized Justice Chavurahs. Contact Helen Petty with questions about any of these programs.
Tikkun Olam Circle
The Tikkun Olam Circle has changed a lot over the years and has taken on different forms. Currently, we serve as the strategic umbrella for the individual Justice Chavurahs below. Occasionally TOC takes on special projects, like that of sponsoring an Afghan refugee family or making meals at Room at the Inn. Volunteer projects and opportunities can be found on our Volunteer page. Click the link below to see when we're meeting next.
