Pack It Up for Purim

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 2,000 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 Tuesday, February 14th to Tuesday, February 28th.

• 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), with hashtag #pack4purim.
• Read about our Pack It Up for Purim initiative.
• Donate now — Your generosity will provide a safety net for the impoverished in New York and around the world.
