Intercommunity Relations/Social Action Committee

So often we find ourselves wanting to take part in helping to right the wrongs of the world, or to help others in need, but we don’t know where to start.  In the spirit of Tikkun Olam, repairing the world through teaching, informing, raising awareness, and helping the community, your ICR/Social Action Committee promotes social action through-

• sponsoring a variety of collection drives, such as food, toys, school supplies and clothing
• supporting projects of other organizations such as fund raising through 5K walks and postcard writing to help people remember the importance of voting and making themselves heard
• posting informative blurbs which highlight a variety of local charities and organizations with their website links so that you can easily explore options to donate, volunteer and take social action. We also include the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism’s website link for awareness of broader issues.

We bring you information monthly, so that you can achieve your desire to help your community and make a difference.  Remember, social action is just a click away!

It’s Time for the ICR/Social Action Committee’s School Supply Drive!

All items will be donated to the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District’s McKinney-Vento Program, which helps to ensure that eligible children have access to the same free and appropriate education in public schools as other children.

Donating school supplies like back packs, crayons, markers, pencils, scissors, erasers, spiral notebooks, glue sticks, (no liquid glue), rulers, books, etc. for elementary age students is an appreciated assistance to this program.

An Amazon bargain was sighted featuring a bundle pack for elementary students for only $18.79!

Place all school supplies in the box in the foyer between July 12 and August 12.

Let’s help all students succeed!
