After last year’s impactful event, UJA is proud to run Packing It Forward once again!

 

This opportunity is an incredibly meaningful way to support community members experiencing food insecurity. With the help of volunteers like you, we will pack 1,300 boxes of kosher for Passover food for families in need.

 

Spots fill up quickly—sign up now!

 

Important details to note before you register:

  • Age information. Volunteer slots are reserved for adults and children ages 12+.
    • Those between ages 12 and 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
    • There is an option to register your kids (ages 4–11) for Packing Pals. Taking place at the same time as your shift, these young volunteers will participate in a kid-friendly packing activity. Spots per shift are limited.
  • Volunteer hours. High school students looking for volunteer hours for their participation must bring their school’s official form on the day of the event.

 

Due to an overwhelming response from our generous community, all volunteer slots have been filled. To join our waiting list, please fill out the form below and someone will be in touch if more availability opens up.

As you sign up to volunteer your time to support community members in need, please also consider a donation to UJA's Global Seder. A gift to this campaign helps ensure that Jewish families, seniors, and Holocaust survivors have reliable access to kosher for Passover food—here in the GTA and around the world. Together, we can ensure every table in our community is full this Passover.
