Tikkun olam:
The leaders of MAIN (Midlands Area Interfaith Network) are promoting a food drive for Harvest Hope Food Bank, through August 15. There is a Harvest Hope food barrel in the lobby at Beth Shalom Synagogue. Harvest Hope will pick up the donations August 15th and deliver the food to Harvest Hope. Please bring your donations of non-perishable food items and put them in the barrel during the four weeks of the drive. Harvest Hope, as you know from news reports, had the misfortune of losing a substantial amount of food because of a water line break earlier this summer. They are still trying to recover and this effort will be of enormous benefit to them and the hungry in our community. Thank you for helping us fight hunger in Columbia!
