tzedakah initiative

The mission of the Tzedakah Initiative is to raise money for Tzedakah (charity) from Beth Shalom members and friends. Donations are “bundled” and once a year awarded to one or more local not-for-profit organizations that have had a positive and supportive influence on people in need here in Bloomington. Some money is held in reserve so that we can quickly respond to local community emergencies.

The suggested annual donation amount is $90 per person (or $180 per two-adult household). 

Tzedakah Initiative Committee:
Julie Bloom, Paula Gordon, and Stephen Pock.
