Matza & More 2017
Celebrating Passover, Alleviating Hunger

Dozens of volunteers will pack and deliver 200+ Passover bags to Tucson-area families who otherwise could not afford food and other items for a seder this year. 

Donations from synagogues and individuals make the project possible, which has helped families alleviate hunger and celebrate Passover for more than 40 years. 

"The Haggadah says, 'All who are hungry come and eat, all who are needy come and participate in Passover.' Matza & More volunteers and donors make that possible for people who are struggling in some way," said Rabbi Helen Cohn from Congregation M'kor Hayim, a Matza & More partner.   Read more .
