Federation Food Distribution Drive-Thru Brings Help to the Community

Kosher

In South Florida, one in five people — that’s more than 1,000,000 individuals including nearly 300,000 children — don’t know where their next meal will come from, according to Feeding South Florida. The Greater Miami Jewish Federation is continuing to support individuals and families in our community facing food insecurity due to the financial hardship caused by the pandemic. The next free Kosher Food Distribution Drive-Thru will take place Thursday, March 4 from 9-11 a.m. at Federation Headquarters, 4200 Biscayne Boulevard. Cars will enter the parking lot via the northbound lane of Federal Highway and volunteers will place packages of fresh produce, challah, kosher meat and non-perishables into each vehicle’s trunk. Participants must remain in their cars and wear masks. Partners include Federation’s Jewish Volunteer Center, our primary human service agency Jewish Community Services of South Florida, Repair the World Miami, Farm Share and Miami-Dade County. Please click here for a list of donors supporting our work around food insecurity. We are so grateful for their meaningful donations and would not be able to continue our work without their generosity.
