On Sunday, Feb. 21, we celebrated the success of our 2015 Holiday Giving project and presented a check for $64,884.38 to this year’s recipient, Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative. Redefining our relationship with the holidays allowed us to make the spiritual choice to redirect half of our holiday spending to values-based giving. Together, our gifts will have a life-changing impact on the people Beacon serves. Thank you so much to all of our members and congregants for their generosity!
