Helping Matza Man pack Pesach food for those in need
On Sunday, March 25 about 500 kids came to help the Chev’s superhero, Matza Man, pack Pesach parcels for distribution to people in need.
After weeks of collecting Pesach foods at 37 schools, the children came to see the culmination of their efforts.
They brought a parent or two with them to the newly renovated Basil Weinberg dining room at Sandringham Gardens, where they enjoyed a morning of packing boxes as well as engaging in arts and crafts, carnival games, face-painting and educational entertainment.
This annual event grows in popularity every year and provides a wonderful opportunity for families to teach their little ones about caring and sharing.
This year, 650 boxes filled with delicious, kosher-for-Pesach goodies were packed.
Yeshiva College Primary School erected a collection meter to measure the number of items coming in from the children. Their target was 400 and they exceeded that by far with 525 products.
