185,000 Meals Packed at Meals from the Heartland

Shanah Tovah!!!

Thanks to the help of hundreds of volunteers who worked for many hours over Labor Day weekend, Project Elijah packaged 185,000 Kosher meals which will be sent to Israel to supply food banks there. Normally, meals packaged stay within the United States and often even within local communities. These particular meals were ordered especially to stock food pantries in Israel. An additional 20,000 meals were packaged in Waterbury, CT this month.

There are upcoming packings at Temple Israel in Minneapolis, MN, in Los Angeles with the help of the Jewish Federation, and in Minnetonka, MN at Bet Shalom Congregation.

Jews of all varieties are finding themselves in need during these trying times.

Below are pictures of the recent packing at Meals from the Heartland in Des Moines, IA.
