Treasures In Earthen Jars (TIEJ) is a faith-based 501 © (3) non-profit organization that currently provides services to disadvantaged impoverished people in the East Flatbush, Flatlands, Canarsie, Midwood, and Mill Basin sections of Brooklyn. Incorporated in 2019, the organization was founded by a group of religious activists and community leaders and have been a beacon of hope to our neighbors for more than two decades.

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. 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.

Treasures in an Earthen Jar (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. Our team of professional volunteers which consists of occupational therapists, physical therapists, social workers, school psychologists continue to provide a plethora of services, though limited to improve the quality of life and making a lasting impact on society one person, one family, one community at a time.

The leadership at Treasures in an Earthen Jar (TIEJ) offers a broad range of socio-emotional, language and educational support to communicate in a common language familiar to our constituents. Cultural representation and appreciation for culture is one of the ideals we honor at TIEJ. The TIEJ team consists of compassionate professionals: social workers, school psychologists, retired NYPD detective, religious leaders, as well as an educator 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.
