MILWAUKEE – Food donations for the Community Passover Food Drive (Ma’ot Chittim) will be collected March 6-20 at several collection sites, including Milwaukee Jewish Federation, the Harry and Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center and local synagogues.
Products needed, which must have kosher certification for Passover: matzo, canned gefilte fish, chicken soup/matzo ball mix and grape juice. These basic items will then be supplemented with additional traditional Passover items. In 2017, the drive was able to serve 540 individuals and families.
Monetary contributions will be used to purchase food items. Send donations to: Community Passover Food Drive Project, 6255 N. Santa Monica Blvd., Milwaukee, WI 53217; make checks out to JCC Community Passover Food Drive Project.
This year’s Passover food distribution will be from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. on Sunday, March 25 at Ovation Jewish Home – Rubenstein Pavilion, 1410 N. Prospect Ave. For further details, contact Rabbi Shari Shamah at 414-967-8229 or SShamah@JCCmilwaukee.org.
