Because the Food Insecurity landscape changed drastically overnight for the worse, and we were called upon to do more – to especially support Farmworkers in Homestead, the people who pick our food.

Give Miami Day is a chance to witness the overwhelming generosity of our community and an opportunity for every person to play a role in shaping a Greater Miami that we are proud to call home.

As we prepare for the High Holy Days we are reminded how important it is to reach out to our family, friends and business relationships with wishes for a sweet and healthy year ahead. Our honey fundraiser provides an opportunity to send jars of delicious honey with a personal greeting to those who are important in our lives. By purchasing sweet honey you are benefitting the Center for Jewish Life at Beth David. The annual Honey From The Heart Fundraiser is a joint program of the Gordon School Parents Association and Beth David Women’s League.
