Feed The Truck – Montreal, Quebec
The “Feed The Truck” campaign by Federation CJA was a huge success. The community-wide food drive led by Federation CJA’s Tikun Olam Volunteers with the help of Jewish day school students in Montreal—has collected an astounding 20,000 non-perishable kosher food donations. On October 14th and 15th, a special Combined Jewish Appeal truck traveled to each of the participating schools to pick up the food that students had collected over the previous month; giving them the opportunity to literally “feed the truck”, packing it with their donations. Well done!
