We have a special event coming up for LI faith leaders to connect with each other and with the Earth! LIJWJ, the Brookhaven Landfill Action & Remediation Group (BLARG), and the Healthcare Education Program of 1199 SEIU are hosting From Garden to Table to Black Gold on May 25 from 12 -2PM! The event will feature teach-ins on how the garden operates and the important place it holds in the Bellport community.

This is a great chance to learn about a living, breathing community project that is bringing people together to fight for justice!  To register for this event click here!  

Invitation to this event comes from Long Island Jobs with Justice's AMOS Committee and is part of their Justice Ministries in Action initiative that is seeking to build and deepen relationships among people of faith on Long Island, activate a growing network of individuals and faith-based organizations who are motivated to learn about community-rooted projects, and inspire a community of people to take action against injustice.
