UJA's New Rochelle Community Feeds the Hungry

Volunteers from UJA-Federation of New York’s New Rochelle community recently came together to make hundreds of sandwiches to feed those who might otherwise go hungry. The sandwiches were then distributed to clients of the Bronx Jewish Community Council (BJCC), a UJA-Federation partner. BJCC’s food pantry, which serves anyone in need, is the third-largest in the borough, serving more than 3,700 meals per month, with demand increasing each year.
