The Mitzvah Food Project needs your help!

Over the past five months we have had 27% more clients coming to our food pantries.

Due to this increase, we need additional volunteer support at various pantry locations.

Any help or additional help you could give would mean so much to our clients.

Below is a link to a range of opportunities and our contact information if you can lend a hand.
