SUMMARY:Exhibit: Where the Light Falls with Montgomery Art Association
DESCRIPTION:Where the Light Falls is an exhibition that celebrates the way light shapes our world – from the warmth of a quiet morning to the bold contrast of sun and shadow\, to the subtle radiance of color and reflection. Featuring artwork by members of the Montgomery Art Association\, the exhibition invites viewers to linger with moments illuminated and to see the familiar anew. Each piece in the show captures a unique encounter with light – where it touches\, transforms\, surprises\, or simply rests.

SUMMARY:Fighting Food Insecurity
DESCRIPTION:Congregation Or Chadash (COC) has three activities for fighting food insecurity in Maryland. \n1. We have received $1\,000 microgrant from The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington to purchase food for Afghani refugees. COC partners with and interfaith refugee group New Neighbor Interfaith Alliance (NNIA). Afghani refugees often come with little resources. This microgrant will provide funding to buy halal meat\, milk\, fruit\, and rice for the neediest families in our community. \n2. COC will be providing a dinner for Stepping Stones Shelter. Stepping Stones is a family shelter that provides emergency shelter for up to six families at one time. \n2. We are also currently holding a canned food drive that will end on April 12th. The food we collect will go to Manna Food Center whose mission is to fight hunger in Montgomery County\, Maryland. \nFighting Food Insecurity is presented by Congregation Or Chadash in partnership with The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington and the generous support of The Sara and Samuel J. Lessans Good Deeds Day Fund.
