We are pleased to partner with The ARK to collect nutritious, Kosher food for Chicagoland Jews in need. In its 50th year providing a full range of social services, medical and dental care, employment services, financial and housing assistance, and hunger relief to clients, the food pantry remains an essential resource to help uplift Jewish individuals and families as they face life’s challenges.     

Please help us to provide Kosher and non-perishable food items during our High Holiday Food Drive. Grocery bags featuring a shopping list of client favorites and essentials are available to pick up in the shul lobby. Please return the bag with your donated items up to or during the week of Yom Kippur.

With questions about the food drive, client services that are available to those you may know, or to learn about volunteer opportunities at The ARK, please contact Dawn Lieberman, Director of Community Engagement and Education, at dlieberman@arkchicago.org.
