New Passover Distribution Opportunity

       JCC PASSOVER DISTRIBUTION       



Dates & Times: Dates and Times vary by location
Location: 9 different locations throughout the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens
Number of Volunteers: 3 individuals per location

Description:

Each year, Met Council provides hundreds of thousands of individuals and families Kosher for Passover food to ensure everyone can celebrate such a significant holiday. Our local Jewish Community Councils (JCC’s) are on the forefront of providing these services such as kosher food pantries, crisis services, and benefits enrollment. Our JCC’s are located in areas with heavy Jewish populations, and, in the few weeks before Passover, will distribute thousands of Kosher for Passover food packages.

We are looking for volunteers to assist in making this event run more effectively and efficiently by passing out flyers to clients during the distribution. These flyers provide these clients with information regarding SNAP (Food Stamps) eligibility. SNAP helps ensure that poor and near-poor families can get the food they need for Passover as well as additional informational pamphlets to let them know about Met Council services that could benefit them.

 Met Council strives to help the poor and near poor with dignity and respect of Jewish values, however we serve everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, or religion.

Duties: 

Volunteers will distribute informational pamphlets regarding SNAP eligibility to clients at the distribution.
