On Sunday morning, 8:30 a.m. on August 7th, join the Jerusalem Peacebuilders in feeding the hungry side by side with nineteen visiting youth from Israel and the United States, co-sponsored by CMI. You will clean a beach, paint a mural, restore a cemetery, and build affordable housing. These simple acts are the foundations of peace. IWagePeace is comprised of Jews, Christians, Muslims, B’hai, atheists, agnostics, and others, and we are strong and growing stronger. Won’t you join us? And bring your children too and help us paint the giant 48 foot peace mural above, which will become a billboard on I-95.

Sign up early for a Habitat for Humanity build (we need ten dedicated workers), or walk the beach with Save the Sound and keep our waters healthy for everyone. Make sandwiches for the hungry, or respect the departed by restoring a Jewish Cemetery, or help us ready some affordable housing units for families eager for a safe clean affordable place to live. We will have buses ready to bring you to your project and we have live music, pizza and salad and more.
