Food Drive for the Capital Kosher Pantry
The Capital Kosher Pantry (CKP) helps numerous families in need who are part of our local Jewish community. In preparation for the upcoming holiday season, we are collecting ingredients that are more difficult for the CKP to secure so families can make challah and other baked goods. 

The most frequently requested foods are: pareve chocolate bits, oil (vegetable or canola), sugar, flour, honey, applesauce, raisins, and grape juice. All foods donated must be kosher, shelf stable, within the use by date, and in non-breakable packaging. We suggest that flour and sugar in paper wrapping be placed into ziplock bags to protect the packaging. Donations can be left in the box outside Sarah Shapiro's office.
