Young Family Oatmeal Packing

Date: Thursday, November 21
Time: 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm (EST)
Whippany*

Be a part of a meaningful, family-friendly volunteer opportunity to help combat food insecurity right here in our GMW community. Pack oatmeal kits for distribution through MEND, a hunger relief network in Essex County that supports more than 40 food pantries and community partners. 

While volunteering, families can enjoy a special PJ Library Maddi’s Fridge story time, participate in crafts, and share a pizza dinner. We want to make giving back enjoyable for everyone, especially as we approach the holiday season. 

Open to families with children ages 2 and up. Hair nets, gloves, and face masks will be provided. 

Pizza dinner will be served. Kosher dietary laws observed.

$18 per family

We support and #StandWithIsrael as we continue to build a strong Jewish community here in NJ

Security at Federation Events 

The Gloria and Jesse Weissberg Community Security Initiative (CSI) is coordinating all security with local, county, and state law enforcement. At every Federation event, all available resources are utilized to ensure your safety. Important items of note: 

  • Entry: Walk-ins will not be permitted. A government-issued ID will be required for entry. 
  • Bag policy: Backpacks, luggage, and large purses are not permitted at events. We encourage you not to bring a bag, if possible, or to bring a very small bag. All bags may be subject to search. 
  • Additional security measures: Additional security procedures may be implemented (e.g. metal detectors) as needed. 
  • Social media protocol: We ask you not to share the location of a Federation event prior to or during the event and to refrain from posting about a Federation activity until after it has ended, and the site is clear of attendees. 

Building an inclusive community is a priority. Please email [email protected] to let us know if you require an accommodation to meaningfully participate in an event. One of our Federation professionals will reach out to you to learn more.
