Summer Faerman, Director of the TLC Program at B’nai Torah, Launches the ‘We Take Food Insecurity Cerealously’ Drive to Celebrate Her Birthday
I always pick an item that is hard to come by at the food banks. Cereal is expensive, yet it is a staple in so many homes. Our hope is to show the community that we take food insecurity ‘cerealously'.”
BOCA RATON, FL, UNITED STATES, October 2, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- B’nai Torah Congregation, the largest conservative synagogue in Southeast Florida, is hosting a cereal collection drive through the end of October, which is also known as ‘Tackling Hunger Month.’ All of the collected cereal boxes will be donated to the Jacobson Family Food Pantry in Delray Beach at the end of the month. — Faerman, Director of the TLC Program
The drive is being hosted by Summer Faerman, Director of the Meryl and Ron Gallatin TLC (Tzedekah, Learning and Chesed) Program at B’nai Torah Congregation, in honor of her birthday on October 5. Faerman hosted a similar drive last year, during which she helped collect thousands of cans of white tuna.
“I always pick an item that is hard to come by at the food pantries or food banks,” Faerman said. “Cereal is expensive, yet it is a staple in so many homes. Our hope is to show the community that B’nai Torah Congregation takes food insecurity ‘cerealously.’”
According to the e-commerce accelerator Pattern, the average price for all cereals rose by 13.6% from Q1 2022 to Q1 2023.
To participate in the cereal drive, please drop off unopened cereal boxes at B’nai Torah Congregation (6261 SW 18th Street, Boca Raton, FL 33433) or purchase a box on the congregation’s Amazon wish list here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/12PFIWE9AU20I?ref_=wl_share.
