Faith for Food: Masbia’s UWS Food Annex at Shearith Israel

In honor of the US Semiquincentennial and 250 years of Jewish life in America, Shearith Israel launched an initiative that recalls the hesed programs for which our congregation is known, and which our ancestors and descendants can take pride in:

At this year’s annual Pack-a-thon, we announced the launch of Faith for Food, Masbia’s UWS Food Annex at Shearith Israel. Fueled by volunteers and aided by Masbia’s experience and expertise, this year-round weekly kosher food pantry delivers ample and nutritious grocery staples to our neighbors.
