Let Them Eat Cake so They Can Eat Chicken
February 10, 2008 by David
The kids in our neighborhood are running a bake sale to benefit Chickens for Shabbos. Chickens for Shabbos is an amazing organization that takes every penny raised and puts food on the tables of needy families in Eretz Yisrael. There is absolutely no overhead. The kids raised $1300.00 at last years bake sale.
Those interested in supporting this very worthy cause can send checks to Young Israel of Kew Gardens Hills Tzedakah Fund at 150-05 70th Road Flushing, N.Y. 11367 Attn: Rabbi Schonfeld or call 718-261-9723.
My wife baked a chocolate chip banana cake and these delicious meringues.
UPDATE: The bake sale this year raised more than $3500.00! Kol HaKavod!!
What a wonderful idea.
I have been to Israel and checked out this organization - it’s the most worthy cause one could possibly help!
Keep up the good work.
Yeah, and it’s great to know that every penny gets through to those who need it.
[...] to achieve this for themselves, too. It’s lovely to see this tradition continued, and with a bake sale, too. Food turning into more food. It makes everyone just that much [...]
