The Mandy Reichman Feeding Program is back and better than ever thanks to our partnership with the JCC of Central NJ!
We are partnering with JCC of Central NJ on behalf of the Mandy Reichman Feeding program which provides food and support to less fortunate, needy families in Union County. Together with the JCC each month, we pack 150 sandwiches and 100 emergency food bags for Jewish family services.
The Mandy Reichman Feeding program, also known as Bagged with Love, was founded in in memory of Mandy Reichman (daughter of long-time Temple Emanu-El preschool teacher Meryl Reichman) who was passionate about feeding those in need.
How can you help as a volunteer?
- Pack 100 emergency food bags for Jewish Family Services of Central NJ
- Assemble 150 sandwiches and pack it in a lunch bag with other items such as fruit, snacks and drinks
- Make a financial donation – a mere $25 feeds a family of 4 a week of breakfast and lunch!
