Community Food Pantry
Romemu Community Food Pantry
שידע הכוח שלנו כקהילה יצוף את רוחנו, יחזק את כוונותינו ויקיים את מעשינו – “May the knowledge of our strength as a community buoy our spirits, reinforce our intentions and sustain our actions.”
“It is incumbent upon us to act based upon what we are uniquely poised to contribute to the neighborhood in which we reside.” Pirke Avot reminds us: “We are not required to finish the work, neither are we free to desist from it.” This is our call to action.

Support the Community Pantry
The Community Pantry depends on our volunteers and our donors to continue to the meet the needs of our neighbors.
Sponsoring a day of the Community Pantry is a meaningful way to enhance a simcha (celebration) such as a birthday or B Mitzvah or commemorate the yahrzeit of a loved one.
Whether you sponsor a full day ($600) or make a donation of another amount, every donation – no matter how large or how small – has a meaningful impact.
