We need your help purchasing local grocery gift cards for those in need.
Each fall, the Jewish Federation’s Mitzvah Food Program hosts its largest drive of the year to combat hunger.
About the Drive
Community members can buy local grocery store gift cards and drop them off at participating congregations and organizations throughout the Greater Philadelphia region. You can also drop your gift cards off at one of the Mitzvah Food Program’s pantry sites.
You can also purchase foods through our Mitzvah Food Program Amazon Wishlist so that the products are shipped directly to a pantry. Please select “MFP Gift Registry Address” as the shipping address when checking out your order.
