Description: Get into the Purim spirit by doing a mitzvah at the Jewish Relief Agency (JRA). We will be packing food boxes for families in need with other jkidphilly volunteers. Volunteers will take an empty box, put it on a cart, and push the cart down an assembly line and fill it with food items. Children are welcome and encouraged to join us. If they are in school, we’d love to have you come.

JRA will be delivering food to around 3,500 households in March.

Location: An indoor location in Northeast Philadelphia, PA; please register for the exact address.

Accommodations: Thanks to a generous grant from the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, we are able to provide accommodations for any child or family member with a disability to attend jkidphilly events. If you need an accommodation such as an ASL interpreter, a sensory toolbox, or even behavior support for your child, or if you have questions about the accessibility of any program or venue, please note so on our form or contact us. In most cases, our staff will need two weeks’ notice to provide accommodations, but we will do our best to meet your needs on any timeframe.
