STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The Joan and Alan Bernikow JCC of Staten Island hosted a drive-thru Passover Food Pantry Distribution on Thursday, which provided more than 1,500 people in need with meals for the upcoming holiday.
Close to 300 families received Kosher for Passover food packages during the distribution.
JCC CEO Orit Lender noted the drive-thru was a way to ensure that “no one in our community goes hungry during the holidays.”
