Direct Action
DIRECT SERVICE ACTIONS
Temple Israel of Hollywood partners with several organizations to give back to the community.
In addition to volunteer opportunities with our partners, we have ongoing direct service and actions at TIOH:
The TIOH Lunch Project
Join friends, or make new ones, by providing pre-packaged meals to homeless and hungry LA youth. You can shop for us, too! If you have limited time, The Lunch Project serves up a perfect opportunity for you to help. The TIOH Lunch Project takes place the second Thursday of each month at 9:15 am in the TIOH kitchen (unless otherwise noted due to scheduling conflicts and/or holidays). Contact Alexa Pogue at ajlmdpogue@gmail.com for more information.
TIOH’s Christmas Dinner for the Hungry & Homeless
For over 30 years, TIOH members and friends have been serving Christmas dinner to over 1000 of our unhoused and food insecure neighbors from across LA. We provide individuals and families with a beautiful, table-served holiday meal, clothing, fresh socks, hats, toiletries, books, toys, and photos with Santa Claus. Find all volunteer opportunities for this year’s Christmas dinner here.
Hollywood Food Coalition’s Community Meal
On the second Monday of each month you can join your fellow TIOH members in helping the staff of the Hollywood Food Coalition prepare and serve dinner to homeless and food-insecure people. Find more information and sign up here.
Social Justice Sundays
Join our family actions that may include a special project, an off-site visit to a non-profit organization, or even going to clean up a park. For more information, please email our VP of Social Action, Francine Tansey, at flipsman@me.com. Join us for our next family action on February 2, 2025 at noon.
