Celebrational Food Delivery
20th anniversary of Kedem Jacobs JCC: a holiday, which we shared with those who especially cherish it.
An anniversary isn't just about results and congratulations; it's also an occasion to remember those who need the support right now the most. That was exactly how the idea was born - to combine the 20th anniversary of Kedem Jacobs JCC with a good deed, which became truly meaningful for both us and our wards.
In the Healthy Food Basket project, we organized a huge food box delivery for the elderly beneficiaries of Chisinau. In 4 hours 16 volunteers - by foot and by car - delivered about 70 boxes with fresh produce. Each box isn't just food; it's attention, care, involvement, and sometimes even the only interaction with an outside world in a whole week.
We want to take this celebration further than Kedem and bring it to the homes of those who we have served for a lot of years already. This is what we really think is a genuine meaning of the anniversary - to share this kindness with others.
We thank everyone who made this day special:
- Green Shop - for the generous impact: 420 kg of fresh fruits and veggies were given away via volunteering. It let us fill every basket with truly wholesome and qualitative contents.
- PsyProf - for collaboration and support: a card with the unique design and warm wishes was added to every basket. These small messages made this delivery very personal and lovely.
The Healthy Food Basket Project continues to not only provide produce to the elderly but also remind them that care can be shown through the simple things, right on time, when it's very needed. In those moments, when volunteers, partners, and the whole team of like-minded people work together, we strongly feel the power of community.
Happy anniversary, Kedem Jacobs JCC! And we wish for there to be, behind every good deed, not only a special occasion but also a lively human participation.
