I-SRV’s Annual Thanksgiving Gathering

Join us on Sunday, November 23rd, 5:00pm at Beth Chaim Congregation

We invite you to a family-friendly gathering for solidarity, compassion, healing, and gratitude. This will be a moment for mutual support, reflection, and nourishing harmony among us.

Potluck! Please bring a vegetarian sweet or savory finger food to share, and your favorite beverage.  Sign-up at ISRV.love/Friends

Compassion!  Bring canned food donations for the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano.  The Food Bank recommends donating healthy, nonperishable food you would like to eat.  Key items during this challenging time include:

• Nut butters (peanut, almond), jam/jelly/honey
• Canned tuna and chicken (in water)
• Boxed macaroni and cheese
• Shelf-stable milk
• Beans/lentils (dry or canned) and rice
• Canned soups/vegetables/tomato products (low sodium, easy open)
• Whole grain cereals/crackers and whole wheat/grain pasta

To learn more about donating food to meet local needs, please see the Multi-Faith ACTION Coalition webpage.  Please note: The Food Bank cannot accept glass containers, food past its ‘best by’ date, open/partially-used products, alcohol, or frozen/refrigerated foods.

Even if bringing food doesn’t work for you, please join us for a time of building our relationships, of actively choosing Love! There will be time dedicated to recognizing the wounds that have been inflicted, and for seeking faith-rooted responses.

Invite visiting family members or a friend or two to join in! Use the sign-up link to let us know.
