“Community First!” documentary at Community First! Village

Plans are afoot to do some group Tikkun Olam (‘Repair of the World’) Volunteering at the Community First! Village. Rabbi Lev and several other CKH members had a tour there, and loved what we saw. Perhaps a good next step would be for more of us to learn more about this innovative village that provides homes for the homeless.

Saturday, June 29 is the Public Premiere of a new documentary about the village. The name of the documentary is “Community First, A Home for the Homeless”. It is being shown at the Village in their outdoor amphitheater, and it will be followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Layton Blaylock. The film is free but they say that a $5 donation would be much appreciated. Sign up for tickets

Bring lawn chairs, bug spray and dress for summer heat. There’s a concession stand that sells burgers, fries, snacks and drinks. It’d be great to get there by 6:30 or 7:00 to have time to park, put down chairs and wander around a bit to explore that amazing place.
