CansCity Wide Pre-Passover Food Drive

 

 

 

Give spring cleaning a whole new meaning! Passover is just around the corner, and with it comes the annual Jewish tradition of getting rid of chametz, the leavened foods that are forbidden during the eight days of Passover. Our city-wide Pre-Passover drive makes it easy to give your chametz and any other non-perishable food to those in need!

 

The drive will run throughout the month of March and there are drop-off locations all over the city (with new ones being added every day!), so it’s easy to get involved. In addition, ALL Birthright Israel NEXT events during the month of March are drop off sites. All donations will go to Philabundance, the region's largest hunger relief organization.

 

At the end of the drive, we’ll celebrate our success at Matzah Bowl on Saturday, March 27th, so save the date!
