Leaders from the Jewish Family Service say the steady line of cars picking up care boxes of pre-prepared Passover meal kits reflects the spirit of giving. Liz Vogel said this Passover holiday marks an opportunity to share even more with those in need.More than ever, it means so much to us this year when we see the cost of food rising. So many of us are shocked when we show up at the supermarket to get these ingredients that are essential to the Passover meal, we want to make sure that it is not out of reach for anyone, said Vogel.This food delivery and distribution serves as that bridge. Vogel says volunteers are making sure that all the faithful are able to follow the traditions of the communal meal in these troubling times."This year, coming out of the global pandemic, this Passover delivery means so much, because someone is showing up on their doorstep," said Vogel.It has been a busy few weeks of stacking bags and sorting food items and now delivering. Volunteer Steven Mombach says the spirit of giving grows through the effort."It makes me feel that during the holidays that I can give back in other ways other than financially, but you have to give your time. People need your time," said Mombach.Vogel and other volunteers say they are blessed by the gift of giving."The sense of gratitude to be able to work with them and the gratitude and being able to do something for others is a really humbling and incredible experience," said Vogel. It is that giving these volunteers say builds community.We have survivors of the holocaust. We have people who have settled here from the Soviet Union with relatives in Ukraine and Russia for a volunteer to knock on their door and make that connection, it is more important than ever, said Vogel.
