Distribution arranged in partnership with the chesed organization
Met Council
Brooklyn, NY –During
the final days before the Passover holidays, community activists, along with
the Chevrah Sva Rutzon of the UJO, have been busy with preparations for the
huge pre-Pesach distribution. The food distribution will assist a large number of
local families with procuring holiday staples. Hundreds of thousands of dollars
of basic food items will be distributed to allow local vulnerable and insecure
residents to celebrate the upcoming Passover holiday to the fullest.
Those who want to participate in the distribution will
present the cards which they received on Sunday, April 7 to collect food items
during the distribution on Sunday, April 14.
The huge holiday food distribution is made possible thanks
to the devoted assistance of the Met Council chesed organization. Met Council
assists tens of thousands of needy Jewish families throughout New York and works
closely with the UJO for the benefit of Williamsburg’s families as well. The
UJO thanks the Met Council on behalf of the people of Williamsburg for the
major food assistance provided to the community. Special thanks go to David
Greenfield, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of Met
Council, for working with his whole heart and soul in expanding the selection of
products provided and for bringing the maximum assistance to the needy to give
them the happiest holiday possible.
