SPICE Organizes Passover Food Drive for Jewish Family Services

April 2024

By Robert Weiss

An essential part of SPICE’s (Senior Programs of Interest, Concern, and Engagement) annual activities is to contribute to organizations that are essential to the well-being of our community. Over the years, SPICE has worked closely with Sterling Elementary School and Jewish Family Services to meet the needs of those who are facing hardship and need assistance.

SPICE sponsors two food drives annually for JFS — at Chanukah and Passover — to provide food for families so they can better celebrate these holidays with traditional and nutritional meals.

This year’s Passover food drive is scheduled for Wednesday, April 3. SPICE members and Temple Beth El staff will greet participants at the temple’s main entrance from 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m., ready to collect non-perishable food donations (please, no expired food, or items containing pork, or shellfish) and supermarket gift cards (with a preference for Aldi or Walmart). To participate, please refer to the Jewish Family Services’ website for a list of needed food items at jfscharlotte.org.

Thank you to all who have contributed in the past and we look forward to thanking those who support SPICE and Jewish Family Services this April. Together, we can make a significant impact in the lives of those celebrating Passover in our community.
