Passover Food Drive

The purpose of the Passover Food Drive is to provide many of the essential items of Passover to those in need.  Passover is one of the most celebrated Jewish holidays among identified Jews everywhere.

The program aims to raise awareness that those among us in financial need require community assistance to celebrate this holiday in dignity.  

Last year approximately 10,000 individuals were recipients of the Drive, including a significant proportion of seniors and children.  It is anticipated that this year the need will be even greater.

Recipients referred include:

• Individuals living in poverty
