The Community Food Drive is happening again this year! Food will be collected Sunday, March 9 – Sunday, March 30 at several sites throughout the community. Distribution will be Sunday, April 6. Kosher for Passover matzah (dated 2025) is the *only* food item we are collecting this year.
Thank you to the dedicated Passover Food Drive volunteers and staff who helped pack and deliver Passover food bags to Jewish community members last year! Every bag that was packed was delivered to a grateful recipient. Together, we managed to deliver over 415 food bags to our community.
The Community Passover Food Drive (Ma’ot Chittim) is collecting monetary donations to fund this important work.
Pick up locations on Sunday, April 6 from 10 am – 12 pm

New this year, we are building on the foundation of our 16th annual Passover Food Drive to bring you a full day of community-wide volunteering called Good Deeds Day. This day of service will have around 200 volunteering opportunities for all-ages and abilities throughout Milwaukee and at the JCC while bringing together 25 Jewish, multi-faith and secular organizations. Good Deeds Day is part of a global movement created in 2007 in Israel, and we are excited to be bringing it to Milwaukee!
