Join us for a Different Kind of Food Fight!

Adath is joining the Food Fight—the fight against hunger—by supporting Minnesota FoodShare.

​Our congregation supports three local food shelves, ICA in Minnetonka, STEP in St. Louis Park, and PRISM in Golden Valley. In this food fight, everyone wins because the FoodShare March Campaign, is the largest annual statewide food and fund drive. 

---

In 2015, working with over 300 food shelves, Minnesota FoodShare raised over $8 million and 4.7 million pounds of food. The March Campaign is the only statewide effort where every dollar donated goes directly to food shelves to help purchase food for the hungry.
 
Your gift in March is “super-powered” to go even further than other times of the year. The agencies that receive the most donated food and funds in March receive a bigger portion of the Minnesota FoodShare funds. Even without this incentive, March is a great time to give because food shelves see an increase in families during the summer when kids are not in school. To be prepared to feed everyone, food and funds we raise during the March campaign are crucial.
 
Three great ways to support these programs! Please make an extra effort!
 
Bring nonperishable food to the synagogue all month. Bins for food will be conveniently placed at the front and education wing entrances. We’ll collect at the Purim festivities too—a great time to bring food.
 
Donate cash directly to the food shelves that Adath supports. Please note with your cash donations that you are from Adath.
