FOOD FACTS

Passover Food Drive achieves its goals through vital monetary donations that enables us to purchase 90% of all the Kosher for Passover Food at wholesale prices. In the past, food collected through schools, synagogues and drop off boxes only met 10% of the needs of the Drive. Every box has the identical items.

MATZAH MOUNTAIN

This exciting idea debuted during the 2021 campaign to engage the schools and keep the school children involved in this community wide project. Teachers from several schools found that their class was eager to participate and BUILD A MATZAH MOUNTAIN through the student’s donation to support the Passover Food Drive.
