JUSTICE GARDEN (GAN TZEDEK)

One in four individuals in our community will be at risk of hunger—and our PJCC
will be part of the food justice equation. The mission of the PJCC’s new “Justice Garden”
is to grow organic produce to help feed local families at InnVision Shelter Network.
We will also provide social action, learning activities, educational workshops,
gardening instruction, and much more. By practicing the Jewish value of repairing
the world, tikkun olam, we will literally sow the seeds of justice for people in need.

The Justice Garden provides:

  • Social Action
  • Learning Activities
  • Educational Workshops
  • Gardening Instruction
