JRA food distributions take place one Sunday each month throughout the year at our warehouse in Northeast Philadelphia. From 10:00 until 11:30 volunteers work together to package kosher, non-perishable food in boxes. After packing, volunteers load their cars and deliver the food packages to each of the recipient families according to pre-determined delivery routes, complete with driving directions and maps. Volunteers may stop back at the warehouse to return any undeliverable boxes or, if there are no boxes to be returned, volunteers may mail or fax the delivery route to the JRA business office. Most delivery routes take between 30-60 minutes to complete.
Mission Statement
The Jewish Relief Agency brings Jews of all means, ages and backgrounds into a universe of give and take to satisfy our community's varying physical, social and spiritual needs. Through its energetic leadership, the Jewish Relief Agency creates excitement around the fundamental Jewish values of Chesed and Tzedakkah. By providing meaningful and fun events attractive to a broad base of Jewish volunteers, the Jewish Relief Agency satisfies our unique desire to take care of each other and do good in the world. At the same time, these events, such as our monthly food distributions, allow those Jews among us who are less fortunate to benefit from the kindness of their extended Jewish family, easing their every day struggle for survival.
