Social Action Committee Activities

 
Back to School Supplies – Beth Israel supports this annual fundraising event for Hillsborough County Schools, coordinated by the United Methodist Church in Sun City Center. We collect new school supplies to ensure that both students and teachers have the tools that they need to further education in our community. We also donate money to this effort. 
 
Interfaith Social Action Council of Sun City Center (ISAC) – An umbrella group composed of 7 local houses of worship of which Beth Israel is one. ISAC provides educational scholarships and grants money to many worthy causes. Beth Israel actively provides leadership in ISAC on the grants and scholarships committees as well as staff for the Nearly New Shop
  
Nearly New Shop – located in Sun City Center, is a thrift shop that finances most of the work of ISAC. Our volunteers work stock, sort clothing, tools and appliances as well as repair jewelry. Our congregants also serve as cashiers as well as money counters.
