We provide enough food to meet the needs of over 16,000 individuals.
We do so with the help of over 1,200 volunteers who work to pack and deliver boxes for both Passover and Rosh Hashanah.
We need your assistance.
Help support our programs by packaging food, delivering boxes, donating or referring a family in need. These opportunities will fill your heart while you fulfill someone’s need for food.
Register if you or someone you know is in need of a Shabbat Meal package.

PEOPLE
helping people
A new event is around the corner. The past few years have been very difficult for everyone. We need your help to bring food to those families and individuals that are struggling with food insecurity during the holidays. There is nothing more rewarding than helping others. We invite you and your family to deliver food to Holocaust survivors, senior citizens, and families who wish to celebrate the holidays with dignity.
