Be Proud Foundation Will Be Passing Out Rosh Hashanah Food Packages At Cherry Hill

The Be Proud Foundation will be teaming up with community groups and local politicians at the Cherry Hill Gourmet Market on Thursday to distribute kosher food packages for Rosh Hashanah.

The event, called Yad B’Yad, meaning “hand in hand” in Hebrew, will take place from 11am until 12:30pm, the foundation said. The event is only for people who have signed up to receive food. This is the fourth year the Be Proud Foundation has distributed food packages to needy families ahead of the Jewish New Year.

“Yad B’Yad is an effort like no other. This substantial food give-a-way is the largest in our area, and many local politicians turn up to help put together these packages for those in need,” the foundation wrote in a press release.

The organization expects to distribute at least 100 food packages, which will include fruits, honey, hummus, wine, gefilte fish, cookies, cakes, and more. Be Proud said they have also reached out to local community groups to identify elderly or disabled people who will need to have their food delivered to them.

Brunch, provided by Cherry Hill, will also be served during the event.
