CASA Goes to Greater Boston Food Bank Mobile Market (In Person)
- Saturday, January 21, 2023
- 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM
CASA volunteers will join with the Greater Boston Food Bank to help set up and staff a Mobile Market in Lawrence. To reach neighbors in need in underserved communities, GBFB distributes high-quality, nutritious food through Mobile Markets. These free markets serve low-income populations including, seniors, veterans, community health center patients, and students. Mobile Markets are set up in a farmer’s market style to allow clients to easily ‘shop’ at each table and choose from a diverse selection of fresh produce, dairy products, and high-protein items.
The mobile market is from 9-12. The time for the event is 8-1 which includes travel from the Wellesley area to Lawrence.
To attend the event, please RSVP to Janet Goldenberg at janetzipin@rcn.com
Community of Adult Social Action (CASA) volunteers work together on small-group social justice activities to make connections, build community, and express our Jewish values. For more than fifteen years, CASA has been building community and connection within TBE by bringing together congregants to engage in meaningful Tikkun Olam in the Greater Boston community. We organize small groups of 5-10 adult TBE congregants to volunteer at sites like Community Servings, the Prison Book Program, Waltham Community Farm, Rosie’s Place, Pine Street Inn, and the Greater Boston Food Bank. Joining a CASA event requires no long-term commitment and no advanced training. These are true “one off” events, meaning that when you sign up for a CASA event you are committing only to that one event. There are no meetings or future obligations. However, we find that many of our CASA volunteers enjoy the events so much they choose to come back and join us again and again.So join a CASA event, and build your connections within TBE while helping to repair the world.
