It's Happening In Miami

The Greater Miami Jewish Federation will conduct a Food Distribution Drive-Thru event in response to ongoing food insecurity in the surrounding community. This month’s event will feature a number of food items commonly associated with the Thanksgiving feast.

WHEN: Friday, November 18, 2022 9 A.M. – 11 A.M.

WHERE: Greater Miami Jewish Federation Stanley C. Myers Building (Parking Lot) 4200 Biscayne Boulevard

Participants will receive sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce and pumpkin-pie filling, as well as kosher meat and non-perishable food products, challah loaves and other locally grown fruits and vegetables. Food packages will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Federation has conducted monthly Food Distribution Drive-Thru events since March 2020. Each of these events has provided food supplies for 1,300 to 1,500 South Florida residents. While the drive-thru is open to all in need, it is a unique opportunity for members of the Jewish community who follow strict kosher dietary laws. Federation thanks the many donors who have helped the community bring food to the hungry during this difficult time when so many are experiencing food insecurity.

The Food Distribution Drive-Thru is being coordinated by Federation’s Jewish Volunteer Center in partnership with Jewish Community Services of South Florida and Repair the World.

Cars can only enter through the Federation building’s west gate on Federal Highway from the northbound lane, then make a right into the parking lot. Once inside, vehicles will be directed into lines where food packages will be distributed. Recipients must remain in their cars. Volunteers will place packages of food in the trunk of each recipient’s car after it enters the parking lot.

NOTE TO EDITORS: Media are recommended to park along Federal Highway on the west side of the Federation Building, as the parking lot will be full. Representatives from Federation and Jewish Community Services will be available for interviews. For more information, contact David Stiefel at [email protected] or 305.448.1456.

We Will Not Be Silent (January 6 – 29) by David Meyers is the story of 21-year-old German college student Sophie Scholl – who, with her brother, courageously led a major act of civil disobedience against Hitler and his fascist regime. Scholl’s moral strength is tested while being interrogated for her crimes, leading her to question whether to save her own life or continue her righteous crusade. Based on true events, WE WILL NOT BE SILENT is a provocative and timely new work that examines the role of ordinary people in extraordinary times. This production is produced with support from the University of Miami Sue & Leonard Miller Center for Contemporary Judaic Studies. Special student matinees for the production (January 20 and 27 at 10:30 am) are sponsored by The Green Family Foundation.
