TBE saw an especially generous response to the High Holy Day Food Drive at the start of 5781, spurred along by a generous matching grant from an anonymous donor. The Social Action Committee decided on an initial donation of $12,500 to the Second Harvest Foodbank, $500 to the Mount Zion Baptist Church Food Pantry, and $1,000 to the Catholic Multicultural Center Food Pantry.

We have now allocated the remainder of the funds by donating $656 each to Porchlight Men’s Emergency Shelter, for groceries not provided by the county; Centro Hispano, to buy grocery cards for clients in need; and Food for Thought / Thea's Table, providing weekend food for the families of Madison schoolchildren experiencing homelessness or crisis.

A huge thank you to our very generous congregants. Let's hope, pray, and work for a more just time ahead.
