Outreach to fight hunger

Posted

On Sunday, April 28, you can help end hunger in Rhode Island by participating in a food packaging event. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Temple Beth-El in Providence, you can volunteer as part of a unique food packaging assembly line, preparing delicious, nutritious meals such as a rice-vegetable casserole, rice and beans, and pasta and cheese – all fortified with soy protein, nutrients and vitamins. The individual packages are carefully heat-sealed to ensure freshness of their contents. We then box the meals, which are distributed to local agencies and food pantries.

You can also donate to help purchase food, which then feeds families, children and seniors in our communities. Donations can be made by sending a check to Temple Beth-El, 70 Orchard Ave, Providence, RI 02906.

The event, part of The Outreach Program, is sponsored by Temple Beth-El and the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island.
