Provide Needed Passover Food (afternoon session) in Whippany (At Capacity)
Sunday, March 30
1:30 pm - 2:30 pm (EDT)
Passover reminds us of our journey from slavery to freedom, and one of its central themes is Zecher L’tziyat Mitzrayim—remembering the Exodus from Egypt. By packing Passover supplies for those in need, we ensure that every member of our community has the opportunity to participate in this sacred holiday and fulfill the mitzvot of the Seder. Just as our ancestors supported one another on their journey, we uphold this tradition by helping others celebrate Passover with dignity.
Help us pack kosher-for-Passover food with Met Council for community members and clients of Jewish Family Service of Central and MetroWest NJ, Bobrow Kosher Food Pantry, and Kosher Meals on Wheels. These packages will help ensure all members of our Greater MetroWest community can celebrate the Passover holiday with dignity and joy.
Help us achieve our goal of packing more than 400 bags! Option to help with package delivery available.
This event is open to volunteers of all ages.

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:
- 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.
