Break-the-Fast Food Drive
Helping others? Couldn’t hurt! This high holiday season, Birthright Israel NEXT is launching Break-the-Fast, a national canned food drive. Using our Facebook app, you and your friends can form teams, make pledges, and challenge each other to collect food for those who go hungry year round, not just on Yom Kippur. You can also swing by our Philly office* (or another local drop-off site) with your items. >>Learn More
