This week on the Northeast Newscast, managing editor Paul Thompson sits down with Jordan Schiele, Project Director at Jerusalem Farm. Jerusalem Farm is a faith-based community service organization rooted in four key pillars: prayer, community, simplicity and service.

Since Schiele (a licensed contractor) began the organization in the Historic Northeast five years ago, Jerusalem Farm has provided no-cost labor to area residents for home repair projects, hosted volunteers from throughout the country for a variety of service projects, created a Neighborhood Accountability Board to address code violations and settle disputes between neighbors in the Indian Mound neighborhood, and started a curbside program to collect compost from dozens of area residents.
