Impact in Action – Everything But The Turkey
Join us for Everything But The Turkey (EBTT), a signature program of the Edlavitch DCJCC since 1996, for an opportunity to make a difference. Chop, mix, grate, and prepare thousands of festive Thanksgiving side dishes for those experiencing hunger and homelessness in our region. Edlavitch DCJCC’s program partner, DC Central Kitchen, will throw in the turkeys and distribute healthy Thanksgiving meals to homeless shelters, transitional housing facilities, and other social service agencies in the District.
Amidst the preparations, discover more about Federation’s partnership with the Edlavitch DC JCC, and how we’re strengthening the Jewish community together.
