This Spring, 25 congregations across all 5 boroughs of New York City will come together to mark World Malaria Day, create lasting relationships and make a difference on the local and global scales through doing service and raising funds.
There will be one event during each of the four months of the campaign.
- On March 25th, the campaign will launch with a SolidariTea gathering featuring Ruth Messinger, President of AJWS and Rev. Chloe Breyer, Exec. Director of ICNY.
- In April, each congregation will mark World Malaria Day.
- In May, members of all congregations will participate in Solidarity Through Service, a day of neighborhood-based volunteering.
- And in June, the campaign will culminate with an Empty Bowl Dinner to raise awareness and funds for the famine in East Africa. The event will celebrate the collective impact of the member congregations and feature local artists.
Anyone is welcome to join and participate. Learn more about Faiths Act and the Spring of Solidarity campaign at www.unitedsikhs.org/solidarity.
