Subject: list of places to donate food including perishables
Some people asked me to post a list of responses to my query this morning about
where to donate food after simchas etc. Save this list for your simchas,
parties, kiddushes, and large shabbos meals !
A number of these will take food that has been opened as well as food that has
not.
Shelter our Sisters - shelter for women . 201-836-1075. Will accept food that
has been opened as well as perishables. They have an ongoing need for linens and
sheets, by the way.
The Hackensack Men's Shelter will take food at any time-I usually call them
after Shabbot and bring the left over food from that day--it is located across
the street from Cosco 489-2449 (some people said they take food that has been
opened as well as closed food).
There's a woman in Englewood named Sherry Shemen who collects cooked and open
food and distributes it. I believe her number is 894-0981
Call Tomchei Shabbos of Bergen County at 833-2320. They will take food that can
be frozen (i.e. bagels, challahs) and other non-perishables.
In Brooklyn there is a gemach for simcha leftovers, that goes to very needy
families. They will also take leftover food that can be used to make a simcha
for a needy family. If your simcha is in Brooklyn or if your caterer is from
Brooklyn, or if you can get the food to Brooklyn via an invited guest, call
Schiff at 718-253-3922
