Volunteer at PATH: Feeding our Neighbors

Through IKAR’s PATH Meals collaboration, a small group of volunteers will serve and enjoy warm meals with residents who are temporarily housed at PATH Cotner residence.

Drop off a prepared dish or join us in person to serve warm meals for residents getting back on their feet at PATH Cotner.

FAQ:

  • How can I participate?

    You can participate by donating items before the event begins or signing up to bring donations and serve. Those who donate food and serve during the event will have the opportunity to eat with the clients we serve.

  • Who can participate?

    Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age to serve meals at PATH, but we encourage you to make a dish at home with younger children and drop it off if they are too young to serve.

  • Does food need to be home-cooked?

    No, participants can feel free to prepare meals at home or bring store-bought items to serve.

  • Should participants expect to cook items onsite?

    No, please bring pre-cooked dishes. There will be an oven to warm up items, if needed.

  • How much food should I prepare/purchase?

    We expect to serve 25-30 PATH clients during each event. Please bring enough food to serve 20 guests, as it will be served potluck style.

  • Other accessibility info:

    There are steps to access the building and a handicap lift – if needed, please reach out in advance for assistance. There is only street parking available with no guarantee of handicap spot

Jewish Poetry Reading Circle
Wednesdays • 7 pm • NEXT: Today
Virtual Jewish Poetry Reading Circle
Poetry can often heal, elevate the soul and awaken the heart. Come join IKAR’s Jewish Poetry Circle as we read Jewish poets — the Oneg Shabbos poets of the Warsaw Ghetto, Medieval Sephardic poets, Israeli and Jewish-American poets up to the present—the historical context of their writing, spiritual relationships, personal agonies and joys. The Circle is not an academic writing class but rather an informal experience of a committed group of participants to explore and hopefully bond with Jewish poetic expression and with each other.
