One in 8 Americans will be hungry this Thanksgiving. Each year, as part of our ongoing efforts to address food insecurity in NYC, BJ supports the West Side Campaign Against Hunger (WSCAH) Turkey Challenge to provide healthy, delicious holiday meals for New Yorkers in need. Last year, BJ contributed over $16,000 to the Turkey Challenge, and WSCAH (with the support of all its community partners) was able to provide 5,000 turkeys to friends and neighbors in need. This year, WSCAH aims to provide turkeys and holiday foods to 7,000 families and so, BJ is setting out with a goal to raise $18,000. A donation of just $54 (triple chai) supports two families' meals. Please donate here on BJ’s collection page today to ensure that all New Yorkers can enjoy a Thanksgiving meal this holiday season. BJ Families: Kids & teens can participate in the Turkey Challenge too by writing cards for WSCAH customers that will be distributed with their turkeys. There will be a collection box for cards at Kadima pick-up & drop-off on November 9, 16, and 23. "When you are asked in the world to come, 'What was your work?' and you answer: 'I fed the hungry,' you will be told: 'This is the gate of the Lord, enter into it, you who have fed the hungry'" (Midrash to Psalm 118:17).
