Federation Provides Help With Kosher Food Distribution

Kosher

With our community's needs increasing each day, Federation is continuing its role as a safety net for the most vulnerable. To help those individuals and families struggling with food shortages as a result of the pandemic, we are hosting another Kosher Food Distribution Drive-Thru on Thursday, December 10 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. The distribution is a collaboration between Federation Jewish Volunteer Center, our primary human service agency Jewish Community Services of South Florida, Repair the World, Farm Share, Miami-Dade County and the Sol Taplin Charitable Foundation. Our last food drive, held before Thanksgiving, helped make the holiday a little easier for 1,000 people, who received a turkey and other traditional staples to enjoy.
