Gather with Saratoga neighbors, Scouts, civic leaders, and Jewish, Christian, and Muslim faith communities for an afternoon of service, music, food, and connection. The event begins with a community welcome, followed by an Eagle Court of Honor and the dedication of our Peace Wall. Participants will then share in interfaith reflections before coming together for hands-on service projects, including assembling blessing bags and working in the Friendship Garden. The afternoon concludes with a jazz reception, offering an opportunity to celebrate, connect, and build lasting friendships across our community. Please RSVP [here].
