As Jewish New Yorkers prepare to celebrate Purim, UJA-Federation is teaming up with AmeriCorps and the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty to help defeat hunger in our community. Join us for Pack It Up for Purim, a communitywide effort to create 2,500 food packages for needy New Yorkers, and become part of the Purim tradition of mishloach manot, offering a food package to a neighbor.
Synagogues, Jewish day schools, and community agencies throughout the greater New York area will be collecting packages from Sunday, January 27th to Friday, February 15th.
- Volunteers — Make a nutritious nonperishable food package. Visit our volunteer section for drop-off centers and helpful tools.
- Community Agencies — Visit our agency section to register to recruit volunteers and serve as a drop-off center.
- Talk to us on Facebook and Twitter (@ujafedny), using hashtag #pack4purim.
- Donate now — Your generosity will provide a safety net for the impoverished in New York and around the world.
