In honor of Yosef's 4th birthday he decided to give instead of taking.

 

Yosef spent the day packing rice at Pantry Packers in Jerusalem

 

For the record, Yosef packed 3 boxes, each containing 500 gram bags. That’s a total of 90 bags, weighing 45 kilos or 99 pounds. It's enough to provide for 23 families!

 

Pantry Packers is the food distribution arm of Tzedakah Central/Colel Chabad, the oldest continuously operating network of social services in Israel – established in 1788.

 

Every month Pantry Packers delivers crates containing all the necessary foods and household maintenance supplies to over 5000 of Israel’s poorest families and senior citizens. Every recipient is screened and selected on a non-discriminatory basis by the social services departments of local municipalities without regard to gender, ethnic background, or degree of religious observance. Pantry Packers maintains a packing plant in Jerusalem where visitors and tourists may partner in its efforts by helping pack food staples which are then included in the Pantry Packers crates.

 

We have committed to raising $3,600.00 to help Pantry Packers - Colel Chabad in Honor of Yosef's Birthday. Together lets support the people of Israel.
