Atlanta Interfaith Hunger Seder: Celebrating the Good, Facing the Challenges
2022-04-20 18:00 - 21:00 | Temple Kol Emeth, 1415 Old Canton Rd, Marietta, GA, 30062
Join us for the 11th annual Atlanta Interfaith Hunger Seder where we bring people of faith and goodwill together to learn about food insecurity in our community and discover impactful responses as we meet with our direct service vendors and partners.
This year, we will be joining our friends in Marietta at Temple Kol Emeth led by Rabbi Larry Sernovitz to hear the wisdom of Bill Bolling, founding member of the Atlanta Community Food Bank, Foodwell Alliance, and long-time anti-hunger activist. He will be encouraging us to Celebrate the Good and Face the Challenges as we look at food insecurity during this special season.
We are so eager to welcome the interfaith community to our Seder table to be part of this special event and hold up the food justice work that is going on in the Metro Atlanta area. Starting at 6 p.m., we will open the Marketplace filled with our community partners that fight hunger and food insecurity every day. Come learn about their efforts and ways to be involved in these essential organizations. The Seder will start at 6:30 p.m., and we are looking forward to breakout conversations and diving deeper in to ways we make an impact on food insecurity across the Metro Atlanta area. Help us to reach our goal of $10,000 to share with our partner organizations involved in this effort.
