RECAP of MITZVAH DAY Honoring Dr. King’s Legacy through Tikkun Olam–JCOGS Mitzvah Day Over 50 JCOGS members gathered to honor Dr. King’s legacy through acts of service: donating winter gear, cooking for shelters, fixing things around JCOGS, making Tikkun Olam t-shirts, supporting the UCC warming shelter*, Chesed calling and visiting dozens of members, purchasing maple syrup to support our efforts, and an inspiring soup supper. Read all about Mitzvah Day here.
*Our commitment to the UCC Warming Center has reached the high notes: JCOGS will continue to support this Tikkun Olam effort on Monday afternoons from 1-3pm, with Hot Soup & Music. If you want to support and/or participate on-site, please contact Patti Rubin, (patti6036@gmail.com).
