WHO WE ARE
Treasures In Earthen Jars is a faith-based, non-profit organization that currently provides services to disadvantaged impoverished people in the East Flatbush, Flatlands, Canarsie, Midwood, and Mill Basin sections of Brooklyn
FOOD PANTRY
PURPOSE-DRIVEN & VISIONARY
Incorporated in 2019, the organization has been providing social and behavioral support to our community for a long time. We simply helped our neighbors, because we believed that is what we are called for. However, to partner with other organizations and getting more support, incorporating the organization was necessary and required to secure help and make a greater impact.
The main purpose of the organization is to bridge the socio-economic and cultural gap by supporting our fellow brothers and sisters in need of comprehensive social services that are too often not readily available in our neighborhoods and may not be adequate to meet the cultural, social and language need of our community that is mainly composed of individuals from foreign countries with all sorts of barriers.. As members of the community, we have seen firsthand the socio-economic, cultural challenges and collective pain experienced by these marginalized groups and vow to put our resources together to help our neighbors the best we can.
TIEJ, though small, we recognize the severity of the socio-economic and educational poverty that exist in these impoverished sections of Brooklyn and have offered a comprehensive approach rooted in community assistance and support to economically and educationally diverse families.
DIVERSE AND TALENTED PEOPLE COMMITED TO FIGHTING POVERTY & INJUSTICES
The leadership at TIEJ offers a broad range of socio-emotional, language and educational support to communicate in a language familiar to our constituents. The TIEJ team consists of compassionate professionals: social workers, psychologists, doctors, religious and community leaders who volunteer and share their expertise to serve and support a hard-to-reach niche of immigrants and residents who are uninformed about available resources and perhaps fearful to seek information because of their immigration status.
