Gennifer Unell and Maia Nagle organize the donation closet at Homebase Youth Services during last year’s Jewish Community
Foundation’s Tikkun Olam Tour. Valley teens in grades 7-12 who want to make our world a better place are invited to participate in this year’s tour 10:30 am-3:30 pm, Feb. 12. Teens visit local nonprofits, engage in community service and learn about ways they can contribute to the success of these organizations. This year’s tour will focus on organizations meeting the needs of children and addressing food insecurity. Teens will work with organizations helping children with special needs, children in the foster care system and children from low-income, at-risk situations. Teens will take the Food Stamp Challenge; during a supermarket stop, they will gert a limited amount of money to purchase groceries for teens in the JFCS Youth In Transition Program. Pre-registration is required. The cost is $20. Priority given to current B’nai Tzedek Teens. For application or more information, contact Youth Philanthropy Director Andrea Cohen at 480-699-1717 or [email protected].
