Rockdale Reaches Out
Hello Friends and Rockdale Members,
In our efforts to support the local refugee community, Rockdale continues to partner with Tikkun Farm and Heartfelt Tidbits
Rockdale Temple has sponsored one of the raised gardens at Tikkun Farm!
Tikkun Farm is building a learning lab garden for the students at Mt. Healthy City Schools and other visiting groups.
This garden of 25 raised cedar beds has been made possible by donations from organizations throughout the community.
Tikkun Farm has many on-site volunteer needs, if you are comfortable. They provide fresh food to many families each week. They also have a monthly Volunteer Day, for which volunteers assist with various projects around the farm.
Heartfelt Tidbits:
Heartfelt Tidbits (HFT) focuses solely on the needs of families who are new to the USA. HFT is actively fundraising to more fully support the refugee community. Monetary donations are welcome! Your dollars go directly to food, rent, and legal help. Donate at www.heartfelttidbits.com or at their FaceBook page.
If you’d like to help a student in the Cincinnati Public Schools (families are new to the USA) during this challenging pandemic time, please consider the “virtual buddy” program. You will be paired with a student (ages vary) who needs help with homework or practicing English. You and your buddy can choose when to meet (via Google Meet) and we encourage at least 1 hour weekly.
Please contact our office for questions.
