Community Dinners - Temple Har Zion

Beginning Wednesday, November 12, we will host eight community dinners each Wednesday until December 31, 2025. These evenings provide support to families and individuals needing a free hot meal, access to our Food Bank and a welcoming environment. Following the dinner, we will have an entertaining Bingo session with prizes. Upon leaving the program, each guest receives a bagged lunch.
