This year on MLK Day, the Vilna is excited to be teaming up with Repair the World and About Fresh to offer a day of community service.
We invite you to join us as we learn about food injustice with the About Fresh team and Repair the World Fellows. Together we will pack over 100 bags of fresh produce to donate to local communities in need.
A light lunch will be provided. Registration Required.

Repair the World mobilizes Jews and their communities to take action to pursue a just world, igniting a lifelong commitment to service.
In 2009, Repair the World began elevating meaningful service as a defining element of Jewish life by engaging Jewish young adults in service and learning to meet pressing local needs. Today, Repair the World activates a national service movement, mobilizes partners and tens of thousands of Jewish young adults and their communities to serve alongside their neighbors.
